We're delighted to announce HRH The Duke of Edinburgh as Patron of the DofE and @intaward.

The Duke is a Gold Award holder, has been a passionate supporter of both charities for decades – and shares our belief in the limitless potential of young people.

Many congratulations to the new Duke of Edinburgh who has worked tirelessly in support of the Award and young people over many years. And a very happy birthday too!

Congratulations to DofE volunteers around the UK who were recognised in the New Year Honours List for their extraordinary contributions in a wide range of areas 🙌

Thank you so much for everything you do to inspire, support and make a difference in young people's lives 💜

A warm welcome to our newest DLCs, @QEHSHexham, @BarndaleSchool, and @StWilfridsRCcol! #DofE #YouthWithoutLimits

The Queen was a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to public service. Her support of our charity, founded by her husband Prince Philip, has enabled us to empower millions of young people with the skills, confidence and self-belief to reach their full potential.

It is with great sadness that The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award acknowledges the death of Her Majesty The Queen. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time.

@SilverdaleNT Well done!

We’re glad to see expedition groups venturing out after two disrupted years – but it’s important to treat the countryside they’re travelling through with respect. Pick up rubbish and don’t leave leftover food behind. Read more on the Countryside Code here: https://t.co/szNSN8Qmya

Fantastic to read Sophie's story from @CVYP0. “When you have the opportunity to do DofE, go for it.” https://t.co/oXy8DhlR2F

Breaking news: Tens of thousands more young people across England will have the chance to do their #DofE thanks to a major new government investment. It’s great to see the government recognise the amazing difference opportunities outside the classroom can make to all young people
