We are the Duke of Edinburgh Society at the University of Essex and we are looking to raise up to £500 to help register our Society with the local council and to put towards expeditions to enable students of this University to complete their gold award.
My name is George and I am the fundraising officer for this society and I am also looking to complete my Duke of Edinburgh award this year with the university. I am really passionate about discovering new things and going on different expeditions. This is why I so much want to help my society .
Our society was established in 2013 in which year we had gold standard and our tireless Executive Committee are working towards achieving this standard again. We work very closely with both Rough Edge who arrange our expeditions and Nottingham University who we partner up with on expeditions.
As said on the Duke of Edinburgh website, it is the "world's leading youth achievement award, giving millions of 14-24 year olds the opportunity to be the best they can". That is exactly what we are trying to promote as a Society.
Any extra money will lower the overall cost of each student's expedition which is £395.
We will provide regular updates on our Facebook page
Some of the costs include:
Travel- Up to £60 per expedition
If we reach our minimum, we will register with the council and achieve the gold standard which is the critical aim of this project.
Any money we make over the minimum will go on kit for our expedition and towards travel.
Camp Site Fees- £30-£40 ; Cooker - £80
We do offer some great rewards for anyone who decided to support us. Please check them out.
