A little bit of exercise each day makes all the difference to your wellbeing, but if you're daunted by physical sports, there are lots of low impact options for your #DofE programme

Amber started #DofE with a severe lack of confidence and a voluntary mute. Through #DofE, she was able to rebuild her confidence and connect with her classmates and regain the ability to speak publically. Read her inspiring story here

DofE is achievable by any young person who chooses to take up the challenge. Emily fell pregnant at 16 and left school with very few qualifications. She went on to achieve her Gold Award and was part of the first young mum group to take their children on expedition

What does doing the #DofE mean for your CV? @DeborahMeaden explains the importance of seeing 'I have achieved a DofE Award' on applications
Well done to everyone who has participated or supported groups through expeditions this year. So many people would not achieve their@DofE Awards without your help. #volunteering #achievementunlocked #iamdofe
DofE expedition season has come to an end! This year, participants and leaders have faced the Scottish outdoors-through gale force winds, storms, snow, heavy rain and hot summers- with resilience, hard-work and enthusiasm. You have all been an inspiration. #iAmDofe
