Dundee Challengers

The Senior Management Team at Dundee City Council completed their DofE Diamond Challenge last weekend. The team cycled 26 miles around the Dundee Green Circular.



Dundee City Council is the first Local Authority team to complete their Challenge. A big congratulations goes out to them all. We've now put their picture up on our 'DofE Challengers' wall in the Scotland office.



All the money raised from their Challenge will go towards assisting young people in Scotland - young people like Nicole. You can hear more about her story in the video below.

HRH The Countess of Wessex Chooses her Challenge

HRH The Countess of Wessex has announced her DofE Diamond Challenge today. HRH will be covering 445 miles beginning at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh and finishing up at Buckingham Palace in London over seven days in September.


Us in the DofE Scotland office are really inspired by HRH's Challenge. We're doing our own cycle Challenge, but it's not half as far as this. If you're feeling inspired too, then sign up to do your own DofE Diamond Challenge: https://dofediamondchallenge.org/. Choose a Challenge, Change a Life!
