The award. Take the Challenge

If you want adventure and fun, while learning new skills and making a difference in life, why not try for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award?

Anyone aged 14 to 24 can try for the Award, whether male or female, able-bodied or not and regardless of religion or background.

What's in it for you?

First of all - it's great fun. It's all about trying something new or improving your skills and spending time with your friends. There's no competition - the Award is a personal challenge not a competition against others.

You'll discover how choosing, planning and achieving personal goals can change your life.

Many employers regard the Award as an extra qualification, so what you do could even benefit your career.

The Award is very popular - more than 225,000 young people in the UK are now working on one section or other.
