Each trustee has read the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and has due regard to this when exercising any duties to which the guidance would be relevant. This is reviewed throughout the year as a matter of course and discussed at trustee meetings. Examples of how we carry out our work for the public benefit include:-
- Providing an alternative route for young people to achieve the DofE Award where barriers exist in accessing it elsewhere.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
-
Not all young people have a background that can steer them towards embarking on a nationally recognised award particularly if not offered through their school. Our charity is run by dedicated adult volunteers able to offer their experience and support in helping such young people to achieve their awards.
-
The DofE programme is designed to boost self-confidence and develop a positive outlook.
-
We actively encourage young people working towards their DofE award to seek volunteering opportunities in their local community.
-
For older adults, we provide volunteering opportunities to work with young people. We also support volunteers to become fullyfledged DofE leaders by providing access to the relevant training leading to nationally recognised leadership awards.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
Our charity continues to be run entirely by unpaid volunteers. This includes day-to-day operational management and administration of the three centres that are located around Derbyshire each catering for local young people in their area.
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Our organisation continues to attract young people wishing to do their DofE award but who have found it difficult or impossible to enrol on the programme elsewhere. We continue to cater for young people who are home schooled or home educated due to them not having the structure of a school environment that would normally offer students access to the DofE award together with their school peer groups.
Through our website, we continue to receive numerous enquiries from parents of children who are unable to do the DofE award with their school and these enquiries often materialise into enrolments.
The numbers of full award achievements is very high and many of our participants who began at Bronze level have progressed onto the higher Silver level with us. A few of these progressed onto achieving their Gold award.
