The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
By doing your D of E, you’re in for an amazing adventure and masses of fun as you take part in a range of activities, all leading to the achievement of an award that’s recognised by universities and employers alike. A D of E programme is a real adventure from beginning to end. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from. You just need to be aged between 14 and 24 and realise there’s more to life than sitting on a sofa watching life pass you by.
