The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is all about young people stepping outside their comfort zones, taking on challenges that push them further than they thought possible, and forming friendships that last a lifetime.
It’s more than just muddy boots and outdoor adventures – it’s giving back to communities, building essential skills for the future, and developing lifelong self-belief.
These are experiences that young people have always needed and always will.
We don’t know what the future holds, but we do know that today’s teenagers will shape it. By leaving a gift in your Will, you’ll help make sure we can continue to equip young people with the transferable life skills, resilience, teamwork and leadership qualities they’ll need to navigate whatever the future holds, supporting themselves and their communities.
Please reach out to our team if you want to learn more about leaving a gift in your Will. You can contact us by emailing [email protected] or by calling +44 207 798 2880.
The DofE Charity relies on generous support to keep doing what it does best, and we’re committed to raising funds in a way that’s safe, respectful and transparent. Our responsible fundraising policy is designed to underpin this approach.

I was born profoundly deaf in both ears. I felt really happy when I was offered the opportunity to do my DofE because it was something to look forward to and I knew what it could do for my future.
