ACTION HERBIE RIDES AGAIN
Bronze participants from Gwernyfed High School, Powys walked through the Golden Valley to King Arthur’s Stone with the aim of recording “Our expedition through pencil.” They came up with an amazing collection of memories captured in pencil.
Bronze Award holder from Mosborough, Herbie Colton, saved his dad’s life following a heart attack, thanks to his DofE skills. Herbie said: “I was asleep and heard my mum shouting ‘your dad is dead!’. I rushed into the room and started CPR.” Herbie kept going until the paramedics arrived and took over.
Herbie undertook his DofE first aid training at Eckington School and was modest about what he did: “I got to the hospital and everyone was shaking my hand and saying how well I did.”
BRONZE HOLDERS ARE THE TOP TEAM
Bronze Award holders, Manchester City Academy and England U17 team players, Joel Latibeaudiere and Phil Foden, returned home from India in October after winning the U17’s World Cup, 5-2 to Spain’s U17’s national side. Both Joel and Phil achieved their Bronze Awards at the Manchester City Academy, which has been running the DofE since 2014. Manchester City Academy players do their DofE programmes as part of a wider multi-skills curriculum for all younger players. This has been designed to help equip the younger players with the values, skills and experience required to succeed in life, on and off the pitch.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Allotment Project at Reepham High School and College was built by staff, students, parents and members of the local community. Fruit, vegetables and eggs that are produced are sold to the school canteen and profits are given to the project. Around 40 DofE participants are playing a major part in the project, with older participants helping and teaching the younger ones.
St Columba’s in Kilmacolm is the first school in Scotland to receive the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. The award has been conferred upon its DofE expedition volunteers in recognition of the training and supervision which volunteers have provided for over 30 years at all levels. The volunteers come from across the St Columba’s School community, including former pupils, former staff, current staff and parents of former and current pupils.

EMBRACING DofE
Embrace Wigan and Leigh supports young people with mixed abilities in achieving their DofE Awards. Their enthusiasm to continue with the DofE is amazing. Many of the young people that have achieved their Awards go on to be volunteers and support new participants, so they have become a very sustainable Directly Licensed Centre.
