If you're interested in doing your award through your school, the best person to ask is the DofE co-ordinator or leader for your school. 

DofE centres in Dumfries and Galloway

In Dumfries and Galloway, we have multiple centres that deliver the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Most of these are connected to a secondary school and how they are delivered can look different depending on the needs of the young people in each school community. 

You can do your DofE at a number of centres across the region. There are school based groups and community based ones.
