Helping Young People with the DofE Journey

The JTYAF has been supporting local young people to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s ( DofE) Award Scheme for 10 years and we are very proud of our links with the scheme. The DofE is a life changing programme. It empowers young people; supporting them as they learn new skills, overcome obstacles, and it builds confidence and resilience.

As we try and learn to live with Covid 19, the benefits that the DofE offers are more important than ever.

We have recently awarded funding to help with expedition costs and equipment for 2 young people completing their Bronze Awards and one young lady taking part in a Gold Award Expedition.

Without the JTYAF funding these young people, who are facing financial difficulties, would not be able to take part and we are delighted to support them.
