The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award inspires young people, of all backgrounds and abilities, to develop the skills they need for work and life.  We work with companies of all sizes to achieve our mission and we have a wealth of experience in working with businesses to help them achieve their goals.

We can work with your company to:

Invest in the community
We help many businesses to deliver their Corporate Responsibility strategy. Companies work with us to develop employability, support education, improve young people’s skills, support young people with disabilities, and support projects and young people both locally and nationally.  The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award can provide detailed reports on the impact of your investment in the community to support your own CSR reporting.

Develop your business
Our extraordinary events programme is ideal for entertaining your most valued clients and extending your networks at the most senior of levels.  As a member of our Charter Programme you can receive privileged access to our events, or work with us on special events that achieve common objectives.

Challenge your staff
Companies like Amey, British Gas, CSC and the SG Group are building teams, engaging staff, and helping their employees share the sense of adventure and challenge of the DofE by enabling their employees to take part in our expedition-themed DofE Adventure Challenges

Develop networks in the property sector
Our property charter provides the sector with powerful opportunities to develop business networks and entertain clients.  Find out more here

Recruit talent
The DofE is for everyone.  We work with hundreds of thousands of young people, from the most excluded to some of the most talented and sought-after young people in the UK.  Businesses such as Deloitte work with us to promote employment opportunities and careers to young people as they move from doing their DofE to the world of work.

Develop your staff
Companies like British Gas and Lloyds Banking Group are taking part in DofE Business, a programme leads to a Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award and which helps young employees to develop confidence, leadership and team working skills while at work. It is achieving extraordinary results.

Supporters like Baker Tilly and CSC use staff events from raffles to sports days to engage their employees in raising additional funds for the charity.

Become a commercial partner
We are currently working with companies like BSM, Cotswold Outdoor and Vango to offer a range of quality products to our participants and to license our brand.  Becoming a commercial partner will enhance your brand and give you a direct line to customers who actively need your products.  Find out more about our current commercial partners
