Support DofE

Young people are facing unprecedented challenges, making the DofE more relevant and important than ever. It helps them emotionally and physically.  As the world’s leading youth achievement award, we equip young people aged 14 to 25 with the skills, experience and confidence to successfully navigate adult life.

The DofE builds the character and attitude that research shows businesses prioritise over academic results. No other programme offers the same range of experiences and opportunities.

We need your help to extend the DofE to all young people, from all backgrounds – to benefit both them and the wider community. Our goal is to reach one million young people across the UK to start their DofE by 2026, including young people who simply couldn’t afford to take part without your support.

Your support, either as an individual, team or through your business can help us to transform lives in the UK today and tomorrow.
