A man in a light blue blazer is seated at a table with two young women in school uniforms. They are all smiling and appear to be engaged in a friendly conversation. One of the young women is holding an iron and working on a craft project with colorful materials spread out on the table. The background shows a classroom environment with posters and displays on the walls. The overall atmosphere is cheerful and collaborative.

Who we are

From our DofE UK Youth Ambassadors to our Trustees, our people are key to keeping the DofE innovative and accessible to all.

One of our core values is inclusivity. We are committed to being an equitable and diverse organisation, one where everyone feels included, and where they can belong and thrive.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation

The DofE is proud to be part of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation which supports operators in more than 130 countries and territories to deliver DofE and increase opportunities for young people.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at DofE

Our commitment to EDI is fundamental to all we do. We need to ensure that individuals feel respected, included, able to achieve their potential and be equipped to role model inclusivity.
