Burley in Wharfedale Parish Council is proud to be a licensed provider for the Duke of Edinburgh Award for young people in Wharfedale.

We are currently enrolling for Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. Enrolment is open to all young people (aged 14+) living in all areas of the LS29 postcode

Any young person can do DofE regardless of ability, gender, background, or location. Achieving the award is not a competition and you have until your 25th birthday to complete. It’s about setting personal challenges and pushing boundaries.

Through the DofE programme young people make new friends, improve their self-esteem, and build confidence. They gain essential skills and attributes for work and life such as resilience, problem-solving, team working, communication and drive.

This enhances CVs and University applications along with job applications.We have a team of staff with a wealth of qualifications, experience, and knowledge.

We also have a team of experienced expedition volunteers and assessors.

All staff are DBS checked, first aid and safeguarding trained.
