We’d like to wish everyone a happy festive season and Merry Christmas to those celebrating!

Thank you to the thousands of amazing DofE leaders, volunteers and organisations who make the DofE happen and make sure as many young people as possible get the chance to do theirs ⭐

Happy Friday! Today, we're celebrating Louis and his amazing story. He says, "I’ve really discovered myself in doing the Awards.”

Louis wants young people to know that the DofE is about personal growth and self-discovery 🙌

Our incredible Youth Ambassador, Luis Lui, delivered a great speech at last night's Impact Reception.

Our partnership with @LMAppeal is giving more young people chances to do their DofE, no matter their interests, background, or ability. Thank you, @LMAppeal, for your support!
