A new fund to help a million more young people achieve a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has been launched in memory of its founder.
The Living Legacy Fund will aim to give youngsters in the UK from wide ranging backgrounds the chance to complete a DofE Award over the next five years.
The money will help to establish new centres, train thousands more leaders and volunteers and provide targeted help to young people who need specialist support to complete their award, the DofE Award charity said.
Celebrities involved with the scheme have welcomed the funding, and said the award can make a huge difference to young people’s lives.
