The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

We can help support organisations to deliver many aspects of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) at levels Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Expedition training and support

We can deliver expedition training days / weekends to prepare young people for their expedition, advise on routes and equipment, and assist with the remote supervision of groups whilst undertaking their expedition.  Training can be based at Thornbridge Outdoors or at another location if appropriate.

First Aid

We are able to provide training for First Aid and emergency procedures for young people as part of the expedition training.  We can also provide First Aid training courses for staff delivering the Duke of Edinburgh programme in your organisation.

Campsite

Our Meadow Camping is ideal for Duke of Edinburgh groups who need a campsite in a beautiful location ideal for Bronze and Silver training and expeditions.
