The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award marks 70 years with exclusive NEXT anniversary clothing range

Retailer NEXT and leading youth charity The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) have launched an exclusive range of products to celebrate the charity’s 70th anniversary, marking seven decades of supporting young people to develop essential skills, confidence, adaptability and resilience.

The limited-edition range includes a hoodie, socks and a beanie hat, created specially to commemorate the DofE’s milestone year. 100% of the profits from every item sold will go directly to The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, helping more young people – particularly those facing barriers – to start a transformative DofE journey.

The products have been co-designed with young people doing their DofE through DofE Workplace at NEXT, ensuring the range reflects young people’s DofE journeys and features designs and styles that matter most to them.

NEXT has been a trusted partner of the DofE for more than a decade and this collaboration builds on that long-standing relationship and shared commitment to supporting youth development.

Each purchase provides a simple but powerful way to celebrate the DofE’s 70 years of impact, while helping to widen access to the programme for future generations.

The 70th anniversary range will be available to buy online at NEXT.com, with the hoodie on sale now and the socks and beanie hat launching later this year.
