Duke of Edinburgh Award

The Award is a programme of activities for you to do in your spare time.  There are three awards to try for; Bronze, Silver and Gold.  We have an 'Open Award Centre' where you can take part, or ask at your local youth club, your school or college may run it too.  It's all about trying something new, improving your existing skills, and spending time with your friends.  The Award can be done by absolutely anyone aged 14-25.

 

Vinvolved

'V'involved is the national youth volunteering programme for 16-25 year olds.  In Rochdale Borough the vinvolved team is led in partnership with the Youth Service and CVS Rochdale.  Their role is to build the capacity of all sectors so they can offer greater quantity, quality and diversity in volunteering opportunities for young people and engage more young people to take part in their local community through volunteering and leadership.
