Why do your DofE?

For the hundreds of thousands of young people who take part each year, the benefits of achieving a DofE Award at any level are endless. DofE is about helping you along the path to a productive and prosperous future. As many of our participants say, it’s life-changing.

Achieving an Award will give you skills, confidence and an edge over others when you apply for college, university or a job. Beyond your academic achievements, universities want to see evidence of so called ‘soft skills’ that you have developed through extra-curricular activities, such as communication, commitment, leadership and teamwork. Your DofE Award is a fantastic way to demonstrate and evidence these skills in practice.

You’ll also make a difference to other people’s lives and your community, be fitter and healthier, make new friends and have memories to last you a lifetime.

Black Girls Hike U.K. provides a safe space for Black people to explore the outdoors. Challenging the status quo, and encouraging black women and young people to reconnect with nature, we host nationwide group hikes, outdoor activity days and training events

Our DofE offer is inclusive to all, focusing on ethnic minorities / hidden communities. We are giving the opportunity to those who typically haven't had the chance to take up the offer and our aim is to eliminate all financial barriers and stereotypes the young people may face with and while completing this programme.
