The Duke of Edinburgh Award is the world’s leading youth achievement award for 14 to 24-year olds. It aims to inspire, guide and support young people in their self-development and recognise their 
achievements. Young people design their own personal Duke of Edinburgh programme, choosing a challenge under each section of the Award: volunteering, physical, skills, expedition. The activities they choose vary enormously – from helping out in a charity shop to taking up Taekwondo, beekeeping and playing esports – and reflect the diversity of young people’s interests.
The intention of the NAS pilot project is to make the Award more accessible by offering an inclusive and supportive environment that is tailored to the individual needs of the young people taking part.
Part of the pilot will be for young adults (18-24). This will be delivered from NAS Manchester base in Northenden and there is an opportunity for up to 4 young adults to take part and work towards DofE Bronze Award.
If you would like to take part, email: [email protected] as soon as possible to secure a place.
