“For these teenagers the secret of success lies in commitment and a determination to step up to the challenge.

“The DoE Silver Award which goes to Nathaniel represents many months of commitment to a programme which encompasses four demanding sections; Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition, while the nationally recognised ILM qualification earned by Ben and Boaz reflects structured Cadet training and practice in a wide range of core leadership, management and development skills.”
