The DofE is more than an adventure—it's a life-changing experience that builds confidence, resilience, and teamwork, all while keeping young people active and improving both their physical and mental wellbeing.
"I do a lot of reflecting of where I'm at, and a lot of it comes back to DofE. I'm probably not the type of person who would be as dedicated to specific activities, but DofE taught me to be self-disciplined - that hour a week was so valuable."
- Ellis, Gold Award holder
By 2026, we aim to help 1.6 million young people start their life-changing DofE journey. With your support, more young people than ever before could have the chance to start their DofE adventure and unlock their full potential.
