Duke of Edinburgh is a fun adventure and major challenge with three progressive Award levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold) and a wide range of activities that offer endless possibilities to anyone aged 14 to 24. Millions of young people in the UK have already taken part in the world’s leading youth achievement award – pushing personal boundaries, gaining new skills and enhancing their CVs and university applications.

I have already completed my bronze and silver Duke of Edinburgh award with consisted of two expeditions and a years voluntary service at scouts, a riding school and chafford hundred nature reserve. I have also learnt various physical and lifetime skills.

Although Duke of Edinburgh is extremely challenging I have enjoyed every minute and would love the opportunity to complete my gold Duke of Edinburgh award in Norway with some of the world finest scenery in the background! My school is the only school in Thurrock that has had the opportunity to complete the gold award abroad. Once completed I will be awarded my gold award in Buckingham Palace by Prince Philip himself. I will be very thankful for any donation to help me in my journey to complete my gold award.
