I started my Duke of Edinburgh adventure in September 2018 and have throughly enjoyed being part of it. During my time I have developed some amazing skills I can use all throughout my life and has brought me the confidence to be able to tackle anything that life throws at me. I have met and became good friends with the people who I attend Duke of Edinburgh with who are from different walks of life, accepting who each other are and all making memories together. The instructors themselves have made the experience that bit extra special, teaching us very important map, communication and team working skills so we are able to complete our physical, skill and volunteering activities and so we are ready to do our expedition. So far I have achieved my Bronze Award and am currently half way through my Silver, but can't wait to be able to go onto completing my Gold.
