DofE GOLD AWARD BUCKINGHAM PALACE - 2022 By Ms Overbeck
We were part of the Record-breaking 12000 Gold Award ceremony held at Buckingham Palace on 16 May 2022. The Celebrations recognised young people who did their demanding Gold DofE programmes both before and during the COVID pandemic. Our morning celebrations saw DofE Trustee HRH the Earl of Wessex and Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe give speeches of total inspiration. TV explorer Ben Fogle, DofE Alumna and actor Nina Wadia and The Apprentice’s Tim Campbell were also on hand with inspirational talks on careers and life skills. Johannes left us feeling like we could achieve anything we put our minds to:
