"After doing the The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Award, I saw I could be a role model." We want more young people like Lira to experience the life-changing benefits of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. We're announcing a £3.4m boost to enable more schools to offer this incredible opportunity.

We’re delighted to welcome a £3.4 million funding boost from Department for Education, helping us reach young people in the most deprived areas of England and supporting them to build resilience and self-belief through #DofE.
