Wrexham’s own songwriter and performer Luke Gallagher provided his own unique brand of musical entertainment throughout the evening.

Achieving a Gold Award is no mean feat! During a 12-18 month journey, participants explore new skills and challenges, develop opportunities to enhance their knowledge and abilities in five areas: Volunteering, Physical Activity, Skills, Expeditions as well as Residential Activities. This is why Gold is the highest level of DofE award that can be achieved by young people aged 16-23 years.

Wrexham DofE has been supporting its young people to complete their awards for over 30 years; with Young People from Wrexham choosing to take on a wide range of interests and pursuits and the programmes are personalised to these passions and interests.

“Want to get involved?

If you are under 23 years, or know a young person who would like the challenge of doing a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Bronze, Silver or Gold then get in touch with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award team who are based at the Victoria Young People’s Centre on a Monday or Wednesday evening on 01978 317958 or mobile 07800689102 from 6.00pm to 8.30pm, alternatively email dofe@wrexham.gov.uk.
