The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
Network Ryde currently offer the Bronze & Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award as we are an open award centre. Network Ryde recognise that the cost of participating on the Award could be a barrier so we pay the enrolment fees so all young people are able to take part should they wish to.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a great way to learn life skills along with creating fun and exciting memories with your friends.
One of our young people who completed their Bronze and is now halfway through their Silver said: ‘DofE was an amazing experience that helped me bond with new people and helped improve my confidence massively.’
For more information about the award, please visit the Duke of Edinburgh website. Contact Network Ryde directly to find out more or download our enrolment form.

HOW WE HELP
Targeted Support
Wellbeing
A weekly group session with specific young people who may be struggling. These groups are changed every term to ensure we can reach and support as many young people as possible. Referrals can be made to us by anyone for this group.
1to1s
We offer 1to1 support to young people who could benefit from them (we are not a counselling service, but can offer helpful support & advice and referrals to other agencies).
Ask the Experts
A monthly evening session with an expert to talk about their service and what their offer is. We supply pizza and the young people get a chance to ask questions. Please contact Maiya if you wish to be an expert at one of our sessions).
