Celebrating the value of volunteering

This year DofE participants gave a huge 4,725,825 hours of volunteering in communities all over the UK as part of their programmes – a huge leap of 33% on 2022/23! We know volunteering changes lives for the better – that’s why it’s an integral part of the DofE programme. It’s more than just giving your time; we hear thousands of stories from young people about how their DofE volunteering helped them develop a passion for a cause or learn new skills that set them up for their future. We’re so proud of all the young people dedicating their time and energy to volunteering and we’re so grateful for the time you dedicate to supporting young people through the DofE programme.

We are delighted to share with you a certificate celebrating Hamstead Hall Academy's DofE group’s volunteering and impact for those young people who completed the Volunteering section between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024.
