The D of E award is OPEN TO ALL WAKEFIELD COLLEGE STUDENTS AGED BETWEEN 14-24 AND COVERS ALL YOUR PEEP HOURS.

We are offering the Bronze and Silver only.

It covers all PEEP hrs and can be an excellent addition to a UCAS or Job application!

The cost is £50 (financial support may be available) which covers your D of E place, campsite costs and camping gear (with the exception of personal items such as walking boots, sleeping bags and food)

If you are interested please visit Jo Talbot-Paterson at Wakefield campus (I am based at the back of refectory) or Kelvin Bramhall at Castleford (room CX118) for further information. Alternatively, please email dofe@wakefield.ac.uk

The first of the weekly meetings on Wakefield campus is Wednesday 12th October 5-6pm Room WA102 and Castleford Campus at Mon 10th October 4-5pm Room CX002. Please feel free to drop in to this for more info or to sign up.

You will complete four sections (Volunteering, Physical, Skills and an Expedition) and commit to an hour session each week to build up your skills for the expedition and log hours for the other sections.  Find out full details at the official Duke of Edinburgh website www.dofe.org
