We are a local group of volunteers who have formed together a Community Interest Company to provide help, support and training for young people in and around the Breconshire area with their Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

Together, we can help all young people, regardless of their background to achieve their dreams and grow into successful, independent and happy adults.

Breconshire Award Scheme Group is a Community Interest Company which is based in Brecon. We believe that the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme should be open to everyone. Therefore we will welcome anyone who wants to register at our centre to do their award. We provide support and help where we can, especially to those who may find doing their Award financially challenging.

All of our leaders are volunteers and give up their time freely to support the young people with their expeditions and other sections of the award.  We therefore keep our costs to a minimum and do not make profits - we reinvest any money back into our equipment and essentials required to deliver the award scheme.

The DofE Award is recognised across the UK as a way for young people to demonstrate their commitment to their community, bettering themselves and others. It is a way for you to show to potential employers or educational institutions how you stand out from the rest. By committing to completing your award, you can:

• Meet new people and make new friends
• Build your confidence around others and new situations
• Explore and experience new things that you might not have tried before
• Help and engage with your local community
• Learn how to be independent and experience life outside home
