““The DofE is a way of recognising the extraordinary achievement of young people aged 14 – 25 which is just the age I was being useless. They are doing something fantastic and challenging themselves in every possible way. “
- Joanna Lumley
LIHOU RESIDENTIAL
The Youth Commission runs an annual residential experience in Lihou during the summer months. This is open to all Gold participants and is an opportunity to make new friends, give something back to your community and complete a vital section of your Gold without the expense of having to travel.
