What to Expect

Doing DofE helps you leave your limits behind. Itโ€™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.  

Whoโ€™s it for? 

Everyone! DofE is non-competitive and everyone is welcome โ€“ whatever your interests, background and abilities. Itโ€™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 forโ€ฆ? 

To achieve your DofE Bronze Award you must complete a minimum of 3 months of the volunteering, physical and skills and evidence must be submitted before the expedition in June.  However, one of them must be run for six months:

  • Volunteering โ€“ Duration 3 months 
  • Physical โ€“ Duration 3 months 
  • Skills โ€“ Duration 3 months 
  • Expedition โ€“ Plan, train and complete a 3-day, 2-nights expedition

What you do is up to you

From surfing to salsa dancing, coding to candle making, beekeeping to BMXing โ€“ itโ€™s your call.

IMPORTANT: Students will get all the support they need to make sure they are fully prepared.
