I’m fundraising for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
In the true spirit of the DofE, and as proud chair of the business ambassador group in Wales, I’m taking on the challenge of the Gower walk to help support young people as they face unprecedented challenges.
Seven years ago I climbed the 3 Welsh Peaks, conquering them (and my fear of heights) in 33 hours. Now for the long walk!
I’ve chosen this charity because the DofE is needed more than ever. It gives all young people aged 14-25 the chance to have fun, discover new passions and talents, develop vital skills, and grow in resilience and self-belief – so they’re ready for anything.
The DofE’s working to make sure all young people have the chance to take part – with a focus on breaking down barriers for marginalised young people or those who require specialist support.
I need your help to give more young people from all backgrounds in Wales the chance to do their DofE – benefitting them and their wider communities. Diolch yn fawr!
