The highest number of teenagers in the charity’s history have started a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (D0E) in the last year, according to the charity. More than 342,000 young people have taken up completing tasks to achieve their bronze, silver or gold award.

We’d like to hear from people about their best and worst experiences doing their DoE. What award did you achieve and when? What was your experience like? Looking back, what do you think achieving the award has taught you?
