About the Duke of Edinburgh's Award

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award was founded by The Duke of Edinburgh, HRH Prince Philip, in 1956 and has since gone on to become the widest reaching youth charity in the UK with 275,000 young people, of all backgrounds, undertaking an award programme every year. The charity is dedicated to the personal development of young people and strives to encourage confidence, responsibility and teamwork.
