The charity is established io support young people aged 13-25 in the Cambridgeshire and Pelerborough
area accessing a DofE award at any level and achieving a posbtive outo)me.
The objecl of the charity is to advance the mental and physul wellbeing of young people living in the
Cambridgeshire and Pelertsorough area by provKling opportunities for them to participate in the Duke of
Edinburgh Award Scheme and thereby develop their skills and capabilibes so that they may grow lo full
maturity as individuals and members of scciety.
The charity was started in August 2020 to take ovw from the ck*sing St Ives DofE Open Group. The
st.lves DofE Open Group donated all of ts assets on 1st September 2020 to the Cambridgeshire DofE
Open Award Centre. This was done so that the newty fomed chanty could continue to train and support
local DofE participants tr*at had signed up to the programme in the academic year 2019120 but could
not complete their awards due to the impact of the COVKJ 19 pandem￿. Going forward, the charity will
continue to make the programme available to participants across the County of Cambridgeshire.
The charity has no employees and is run entirety by volunteers. The programme is managed by an
expenenced DofE manager on a freelance basis appointed by the tnjstees lo manage the day lo day
running of the DolE programme. The charity occasK)nally uses other freelance staff to run residentsal
courses for Gold participants.

Flnancos
The charity receNed income from Bronze, Sifver and Gokl parti(xpants amounling lo £48,837 during the
year. All expenditure relaled to the Tunning of the Pfogramme and amounted to £35.406 during Ihe year.
We had a very high number of Bronze parbcipants during the year and both income and expenditure
were at a higher level than expected. We expect participant numbers to remain high next year.
The trustees feel Ihat it has been a strong fifth year coming out of the covtd pandemic and are
cOnf￿ent that the charity is in a solid position to deliver the DofE programme going forvrard.
The charivs tnjslees agreed that the reserves rdtcy ts to keep a minimum of £50,000 in the bank
at any given time lo ensure that we can continue to delNer the DofE programme in the long ierm.
The attached financial stalements show the current slate of the finances which the truslees
consider to be sound.
