I just wanted to let you know that we have carried out our practice DofE expedition last weekend. We have 21 students in total, and they were fantastic. Really pushed themselves out of their comfort zone, and we were really proud of them, We have used some of the grant to pay for a number of students to participate, who couldn`t find it themselves. We have also bought compasses and need to buy new gas bottles for cooking when we go to the qualifying stage in the Forest of Dean. Please thank your Trustees for their support. It has been a tremendous help."
I just wanted to thank you and the trustees for providing me with a grant of £400. It means so much and I truly am thankful. I am now able to partake in my final expedition without worrying about the cost and how I would get the remaining funds. Thank you so much, the grant provided is more than enough.
I will not disappoint you all and will earn my Gold Award! Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to learn new things from my award and be adventurous.
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for the grant money. The girls successfully completed their Gold final expedition a couple of weeks ago in the Lake District. We had some challenging weather and terrain but they rose to the challenge and were a credit to DofE and Girlguiding.
On behalf of the Scout Unit, I would like to thank you and the Trustees for your generous grant to help three scouts complete their DofE Gold Awards. As a DofE Gold Award holder myself, I firmly believe in the DofE Award and encourage many young people to achieve their goals. Our internal support system for those less priviledged only goes so far, and these additional funds we have received are greatly appreciated."
"Firstly may I thank you and your organisation on your generous support for our DofE centre at school. With the financial help we were able to increase the number of tents, backpacks, and cooking stoves, which has enabled us to run the largest Bronze and Silver expedition groups so far, The expedition equipment in our centre is now in a very healthy state, certainly in terms of the kit we can provide to our marginalised youngsters"
