Founded in 1956, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is the world’s leading youth achievement award for 14-24 year olds, with over 438,000 young people currently doing their DofE in the UK.
Our mission is to inspire, guide and support young people in their self-development and recognise their achievements.
Catch22 is a social business, a not for profit business with a social mission. For over 200 years we have designed and delivered services that build resilience and aspiration in people and communities.
Catch22 is at the forefront of public service delivery. Our staff work in prisons, alternative provision schools, colleges, and in a range of community settings – improving the lives of over 160,000 people each year.
We fight for the hope and happiness of young people when it is threatened by abuse, exploitation and neglect.
We take inspiration from the courage and hope we see in young people every day, fuelling our belief that a good childhood is something every young person deserves.
Driven by hope and working alongside young people and supporters, we will not rest until together, step-by-step, we’ve created a society built for all children.
