Attention all New Duke of Edinburgh Participants

We kindly request the prompt return of your Volunteer Code of Conduct forms. Please ensure these are submitted to Ms Fonso at your earliest convenience, as no goal can be approved without them being reviewed.

 

Please note that a significant number of new participants have yet to return these essential forms. Your co-operation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

 

Additionally, don't forget about our Duke of Edinburgh support workshops! These sessions take place every Friday during lunchtime in HG5. They are designed to provide guidance and assistance as you embark on your Duke of Edinburgh journey.

 

Thank you for your attention to these matters.
