Inspiring DofE Gold Residential experiences

A DofE Gold Residential requires you to take part in a 5-day shared activity, or specific course, with people you don’t know, in a residential setting away from home and in an unfamiliar environment.

‘We are confident that our DofE Residentials meet DofE requirements, however as we will not be delivering Residentials in 2027, we have removed our approval from the DofE. Please get in touch if you would like to enquire for 2028 and beyond.'

Meeting the DofE Gold Residential requirements

Wondering if a Residential is for you?

  • Your DofE Residential programme will fulfil the requirements of the DofE Gold Award however you do not need to be completing a DofE Award to take part in one of our Residential programme. These experiences are open to any young person aged 16 - 25 years old.
  • DofE Residential programmes are focussed on your enjoyment and learning. It is the perfect environment to grow in confidence, learn new skills and create memories for life.
  • We have expertly trained and friendly staff who will welcome you to the programme and work with you and the group all week. Friends are made quickly in the outdoors and you'll form a close-knit team by the end of the week!

"I had a great time on my Gold residential and met some amazing people, the instructors were helpful and kind without being too controlling and overbearing. There was a great sense of independence while also knowing someone was always available if need be".
