Doing DofE helps you leave your limits behind. It’s the perfect way to try new things, meet new people, discover new talents, learn new skills, give to your community, feel more confident, make a difference, recognise your potential, boost your well-being and know that nothing can hold you back.
Who’s it for?
Everyone! DofE is non-competitive and everyone is welcome – whatever your interests, background and abilities. It’s about finding the confidence to be yourself, and knowing that when things get tough, you can find a way through. So what are you waiting for…?

- Volunteering – Duration 3 months
- Physical – Duration 3 months
- Skills – Duration 3 months
- Expedition – Plan, train and complete a 3-day, 2-nights expedition
What you do is up to you
