The latest from the Founder's 100 campaign
10 June 2021 would have been The Duke of Edinburgh’s 100th birthday. As an Award family, we miss him. Prince Philip was a champion of the infinite potential of young people and a pioneer in non-formal education and learning. As we mark his 100th year, the global Award family is determined to ensure that The Duke’s vision can continue and grow for many years to come.
That’s why we’ve launched the ‘Founder’s 100’ campaign. Over the next three years, we plan to raise in excess of £25 million, to, amongst other things, help enable more than two million additional young people to start their Award journey, particularly those from at risk and marginalised backgrounds.
