The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of practical, cultural and adventurous activities, designed to support the personal and social development of young people (from the start of the school year in which they turn 14, up to age 25), regardless of gender, background or ability.

It offers an individual challenge and encourages young people to undertake exciting, constructive, challenging and enjoyable activities in their free time.
