D of E and Us
We are delighted to be able to offer the Duke of Edinburgh Award – here at your own
youth centre in Allendale! We welcome groups of young people, or individuals, to get
registered and start your DofE Journey with us!
Although you must be 14 years of age to achieve your award - you can join us as
soon as you enter Year 9 in September – and start building those hours!
Choose two of the sections below to which you can dedicate 12 weeks. Then choose
a third to which you can commit 6 months (usually the thing you would enjoy the
most!)
- Volunteering
- Physical Activity
- New Skill
At some point, you will plan and take part in an Expedition (walking, bike riding,
canoeing etc, where you will make a journey under your own steam, carry your kit,
and camp out with your group.
Full support will be received from DofE Leaders Charlotte, Julie, Phil, Bel and
James. Come and join us!
