At The Hamlet we are proud to offer all our Trainees the opportunity to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
All Trainees who attend The Hamlet have the opportunity to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award and gain their Silver and Gold Award. With the help of the Duke Of Edinburgh Lead, Simon, our Trainees are guided through the 4 elements: Skill, Volunteering, Physical and an Expedition tailored for each individual.
We are passionate about The Duke of Edinburgh work because of the amazing opportunities it opens up to the Trainees. It enables the Trainees to develop new skills, engage in new experiences and build their confidence in a safe and nurturing way.
After years of hard work, the Trainees who achieve their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award attend a celebration at Buckingham Palace!
Anyone aged 14-24 can do a D of E at one of three progressive levels which, when successfully completed, leads to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
There are four sections at Bronze and Silver level and five at Gold. With assistance from D of E Leaders, participants will select and set objectives in each of the following areas.
Undertaking service to individuals or the community. This cannot be for a business or family member but can be for a charity or for a not – for profit organisation.
Improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness activities.
Developing practical and social skills and personal interests.
Planning, training for completing an unaccompanied adventurous journey in the UK or abroad.
Participants must do an additional fifth Residential section, which involves staying and working away from home doing a shared activity.
The Hamlet Wigan CIC empowers adults with additional needs through bespoke pathways, fostering independence, skills and lifelong friendships.
