Duke of Edinburgh's Award groups underway!
We have two Bronze Award groups now being run at two deaf schools in London - Blanche Nevile in Harringey and Oak Lodge in Wandsworth with the help of 3 teachers who have now completed their Award Leader training.
DCF will be supporting the two groups to complete their Bronze Award which will include an Expedition at the end of the 2009 academic year. The sections the groups will be doing are:
Volunteering - undertaking service to individuals or the community.
Physical - improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness activities.
Skills - developing practical and social skills and personal interests.
Expedition- planning, training for and completion of an adventurous journey in the UK or abroad.
I wish both groups the best of luck and I look forward to working with them!

Leaders of Tomorrow Weekend 19-21 September 2008
The 4th LOT weekend is now finished! We had beautiful sunny weather in Edale and 3 eager participants after a few people withdrew.
We had fantastic weekend and were able to do a lot of activities due to the smaller group - Crate Tower, Leap of Faith, Raft Building, Canoeing, Night Walk and Jacobs Ladder.
Everyone performed very well and the group worked together to beat the Hostel record for highest crate tower - 25 crates high! There is still the staff record of 32 to beat and we're working on it...
The raft building was impressive with the group designing and constructing the raft without any help from the YHA staff! Unfortunately half of the raft came apart which meant some people getting wet but it stayed together to allow us to get back to shore.
We tried Jacobs Ladder for the first time which was challenging but everyone performed well and we reached the top with no accidental falls!
See the photos from the weekend below:
