The Duke of Edinburgh Programme was the best experience I have had in my life so far. It taught me so many life skills; dedication, commitment, confidence, determination and the importance of teamwork. It most importantly taught me that sometimes things in life can be tough, and you can feel like you can’t do it. But you can, and the reward at the end is incredible. So incredible that you forget all about the hardship and the blood, sweat and tears that went into the adventure, you only remember the good times and the huge sense of achievement. I will tell every young person 100 times to get involved with the Duke of Edinburgh scheme as it’s the most rewarding and enjoyable thing I have completed and looked back on. I’m so proud to be part of an amazing programme created by an amazing man. His legacy will continue in this programme forever.
