I’ve completed my bronze award and currently working towards completing my silver award, the DofE has given me the chance to be able to improve my confidence by giving me the opportunity to meet new people and have responsibility in taking the lead of tasks throughout the expedition. Coming from what is known as a relatively deprived area and being able to take part in the DofE Award has helped me become the individual I am today and has given me an aim and purpose. I have met many amazing people through doing my bronze who I would have never thought I would have anything in common with. The DofE helped me to develop my skills and experience things I would never have experienced otherwise. It also showed me what I can achieve because is challenges you to achieve things you wouldn’t think you could achieve.
