“We are delighted to support the DofE, its ethos fits so well with our wish to help young people improve their life chances whatever their ability or situation. The values of service, persistence and commitment, combined with positive attitude are more relevant now than ever in our society.

However, it’s also one that demonstrates their abilities – improving their chances in the workplace and throughout life”
Malcolm and Libet Offord
