I am a current Gold participant, having earned my Bronze and Silver awards in 2018 and 2019 respectively. I am autistic, and struggled with coming out of my shell. DofE honestly changed my life. I have found new skills, volunteered within the community and the Silver Expedition honestly bought me out of my shell as I led navigating and the feeling of accomplishment I got from completing it was incomparable. I even inspired my brother to do it!

I can't wait for my Gold Practice on the tenth of June. The Prince left behind a great legacy and changed the lives of young people forever. I am so grateful for having the chance to do DofE.
