Wakefield youth group seeks volunteers to take part in Duke of Edinburgh Award

The Horbury Breakthrough Youth Project (HBYP) offer one of the district’s only open access Duke of Edinburgh awards, accepting entries from all young people up to the age of 25, and are now seeking volunteers to take part in the qualification at all levels.

It is hoped that meetings will begin later this month, allowing the groups to take part in their formal expeditions in 2021.

Gary Bentley, project manager, said: “The first lockdown meant we had to adapt our work significantly. 

“The last eight months have been challenging and many Youth Work services have just stopped.”
