Duke of Edinburgh

Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award

A-Levels will get you to a job or university interview, but when the competition is tough, what makes you stand out from the crowd and get accepted? The Award is about putting you in situations where you can develop as a person, relate to others and build confidence, without exams or pressure. There are five sections: Voluntary, Skill, Sport, Expedition and a Residential. Why not go on a Tall Ship and sail from Liverpool to New York as a residential or you could learn to fly at the local gliding club, or go on an expedition, four days backpacking in wild country. Throughout the year the group has weekend youth hostelling and camping trips, and sessions to help you get ideas together to go and get involved in what the world has to offer…..Have a look at www.theaward.org for more information.
