In 2018 I took part in the successful SJP "Solent Trekkers" adventure to Bosnia in aid of the SJP Foundation and Hope and Homes for Children. Myself and five colleagues raised over £35,000 for these two fantastic causes - this year I have decided to undertake another trek closer to home and hope that again colleagues, friends and relatives will show their generosity and support. The Duke of Edinburghs Award has helped countless young people on their sometimes difficult path to adulthood. Thanks to the inspiration and vision of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, for the past seven decades, this exceptional Charity (Reg. no. 1072490) has inspired and transformed the lives of millions of young people from all walks of life. From volunteering to physical activities, life skills to expeditions, achieving a DofE Award is a passport to a brighter future, valued by employers and universities.The worlds leading youth achievement award, the DofE in the UK is proud to be part of The Duke of Edinburghs International Award Foundation, which drives and supports global growth. Its our ambition to give another one million young people in the UK this life-changing opportunity by 2021. I am proud that once again St. James's Place is supporting this worthy cause and I thank everyone who sponsors me for your generosity and moral support.
