Celebrating Our Partnership with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Dorset

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an initiative that holds a special place in our hearts, especially since John Thornton himself successfully achieved his Gold Award.

Since 2010, the JTYAF has proudly supported over 230 young people, covering not only the cost of fees but also providing essential equipment, ensuring that no one misses out on this valuable opportunity due to financial constraints. In addition to supporting individuals, the JTYAF has also funded tents and various pieces of equipment for several schools, enabling even more students to participate and benefit from the program.

We are delighted to play a meaningful role in giving young people the chance to take part in and complete this outstanding scheme.
