The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a high quality, challenging and rewarding programme of personal development activities for anyone aged 14-25. It is highly flexible and gives young people the opportunity to do something that will be of real benefit to the community and the environment. In return, the Award provides participants with a range of personal skills and life experience.
A number of local secondary schools have strong links with the Award, so are a good first point of contact. The South East Award Office, 10 Station Road, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 8BE
