PROGRAMMES
Enjoy the challenge...
Clients
We work with school Duke of Edinburgh's Award coordinators to design programmes that complement schools' curriculum. This can mean after-school and weekend sessions as best fit with pupils' schedules. Young people participating may be seeking a challenge, or wanting to boost their university or college applications, or simply wanting a shared experience with peers. Whatever the reasons for taking part we aim to ensure they have a worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
