A local young person is soon to complete their gold Duke of Edinburgh award.
She is set to undertake her practice expedition, followed by her qualifying expedition.
The skills she has learnt on both the bronze and silver awards have provided her with invaluable lifeskills and enhanced her career prospects.
The JTYAF is pleased to sponsor her final expeditions in achieving her hattrick of DofE awards.
Congratulations and the best of luck on the final expedition!
