The aim was to enable young people to complete a series of self-improvement exercises modelled on Hanns solution to the six ‘declines of modern youth.’ The programme of activities that encompass: volunteering; the physical; skills development; and the expedition was first designed by John Hunt, who led the first successful Everest climb, and subsequently retired from the Army to co-ordinate the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Over eight million people worldwide have participated in the programme at Bronze, Silver or Gold level over the past 60 years, with some participants completing the full trilogy. Five million of these committed individuals have been from the UK, with hundreds coming through the Henry’s provision. The Diamond anniversary year has reignited the idea of challenge within the hearts of present and previous participants. Large scale events have been organised to raise funds for the future of the award as the organisation strive to provide opportunities for all over the next five years. Several alumni have undertaken coast to coast walks and other experiences to enable future generations to experience life at its fullest. The ethos of the award is entirely in keeping with the character of our students at Henry’s. It was started from a premise of ‘the power of doing to shape lives’ for young people of all circumstances. The challenges faced on the journey to the award are temporary whilst the lessons learnt last a lifetime. The Duke of Edinburgh Award opens doors and leaves footprints on the lives of young people, and in its 60th year, what more of an accolade can you give it than that? 2015 to 2016 | 61
