Congratulations to Theo, Ruben and Giovanni from Caterham High School, for completing their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh. At the time of their application all three were already well into their, volunteering, physical and skills section’s of the award, but the expedition was potentially a financial barrier to continue and complete. Working with the school and we were delighted to support Theo, Ruben and Giovanni to get the kit they needed for the expedition.
“From me personally, thank you, without grants like the cam and bear fund I wouldn't be able to give students at this school the opportunity to complete their DofE Award. We have above average number of disadvantaged young people and finding grants to support these students is literally the only way to get them out on their expeditions! Creating memories, inspiring the adventure in them and teaching them many life skills in the process.” Charlotte Marsh, SGO and Enrichment Co-ordinator
Following their success we are also pleased to add that Theo, Ruben and Giovanni have all now signed up to the Silver Award. Onwards and upwards!
