The Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE) is designed to provide life-changing experiences. Through each unique DofE programme, young people can discover new talents, develop essential skills for life and have fun with friends.

What we do:

If you want to do your DofE, ask your school, college or university. If they don’t already deliver DofE, they might consider setting it up. You might also consider joining a national youth group that runs DofE for its members, like Scouts or Girlguiding.

What we do

• We license and support a range of organisations including: schools, colleges, youth groups, young offender institutions, fostering agencies and hospitals to run DofE programmes for their young people.
• One of our core values is inclusivity. We are committed to being an equitable and diverse organisation, one where everyone feels included, and where they can belong and thrive.
