We work with companies to create meaningful partnerships which not only meet your business objectives but also support some of the most marginalised young people in your local communities. By partnering with us, we can work together to develop your employees of today and tomorrow, as well as showcasing your brand to half a million DofE participants across the UK.

Together, we can support more young people to overcome challenges, achieve their goals and realise their future potential.

Why partner with the DofE?

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has been running for nearly 70 years. In that time, we have evolved and become a trusted brand. More than 500,000 young people take part in a DofE programme each year building skills, confidence and resilience to support their transition from school to work.

By supporting the DofE charity, your business can:

  • Change the lives of some of the most marginalised young people in the UK
  • Grow your brand awareness within our network of young people, parents and carers, DofE Leaders and volunteers
  • Connect directly with young people through our wide range of events
  • Support your organisation’s EDI, CSR and sustainability goals
  • Align your brand with a well-loved and trusted youth charity
  • Attend exclusive DofE events throughout the year
