THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD
Activities
As described by the charity on the register
When young people build lifelong belief in themselves, there are no limits to what they can achieve. That's why, at The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE), we support young people of all backgrounds to take on their own challenges and discover talents the never knew they had. DofE is open to ages 14-24, and runs in schools, youth clubs, hospitals, prisons and more, all over the UK. Visit DofE.org.
