Complete Your Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award with The Sunnywood Project
The Bronze DofE Award is a life-changing experience available to young people in Year 9 or aged 14+.
Any young person can do their DofE – regardless of ability, gender, or background. Achieving an Award isn’t a competition or about being first - It’s all about setting personal challenges and pushing personal boundaries.
The Sunnywood Project has a dedicated team of staff and volunteers providing the full award with support and guidance across all sections, and full Expedition training and facilitation.
What's Involved?
There are four sections to complete at Bronze Level. To complete these, you will choose activities which will involve helping the community/environment, becoming fitter, developing new skills, whilst training for and completing an Expedition.
It's Your Award - It's Your Choice!
You’ll have the full support and guidance of your DofE Leader as you choose which activities to complete alongside contact sessions with your DofE Group to meet other young people, make new friends, and generally have fun!
