The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award @DofE 2d

Today we joined @timfarron MP at The Queen Katherine School and @carolinenokes MP at Cantell School to meet young people taking part in their DofE.

From volunteering in their communities and developing new skills to building confidence, resilience and experiencing outdoor adventures, young people shared the difference DofE is making in their lives. It was a great opportunity for young people to have their voices heard and showcase the impact of enrichment opportunities.

Thank you to both MPs for taking the time to hear their stories and celebrate the achievements of young people 💜

A group of individuals in a classroom are engaged in a drawing activity. They are drawing skulls on paper. One person helps another by guiding their hand. The room has large windows and computers in the background.

The publication of the @ChildrensComm Childhood Lottery report comes at an important time for children and young people. This generation has lived through disruption that few before it have experienced, and the report is a reminder that too many young people's opportunities are still shaped by where they grow up.

Every young person should have the chance to develop, explore their interests and build the skills and confidence they need for life, regardless of postcode. That's why expanding access to enrichment opportunities remains so important.

Today I launch my landmark dataset: The Childhood Lottery.📍

Children feel it's harder to grow up in some places than others. Now I've brought together the evidence showing what a child’s experience is like in every postcode.

A pleasure to welcome Leader of the Liberal Democrats, @EdwardJDavey MP, to see DofE in action at The Hollyfield School in his Kingston and Surbiton constituency.

Young people at Hollyfield showcased the skills they had been learning for their expedition, Sir Ed also spoke about his own experience doing a DofE Gold Award.

Thank you Sir Ed for attending and to Hollyfield for hosting an insightful visit 🙌

What's the new enrichment framework for England and how does DofE align with it? 👇

June 2026, the Government published guidance for schools and colleges on how to provide a comprehensive enriching education for pupils, across five categories:

Civic engagement
Arts and culture
Nature, outdoors and adventure
Sport and physical activities
Developing wider life and future skills

By doing DofE, young people access all five enrichment categories. In fact, DofE is cited as an example of best practice in the framework itself.

We know how much pressure educators are under right now – DofE is a trusted way to meet your enrichment goals in one programme. We can help you scale up your existing enrichment offers, rather than starting over.
