BCT Aspire CIC are very proud to be launching it’s first ever Duke of Edinburgh Awards Bronze group. We will be holding a launch event to allow young people & parents to find out more about the programme and BCT Aspire. The programme is open to children aged 14 and above.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event will take place at the BCT Den, Billingham Synthonia Club on Tuesday 16th February at 6.30pm.<\/p>\n

The Duke of Edinburgh Awards is a globally accepted award that is looked favorably on by both further education providers and employers. The programme will be ran by BCT founder Paul Burgum who’s expeditions have encompassed walking the length of Europe unsupported and a passionate supporter of young people.<\/p>\n

The programme will run every Tuesday evening between 6pm to 7.45 which will include one hour work on their D of E award and a further section of working on general aspirations such as life skills, making our dreams happen, plus visits from aspirational speakers who will be supporting the young people.<\/span><\/p>\n

To complete a Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s Award, young people volunteer in their communities, learn a skill, get fit and plan and undertake an expedition, fulfilling six to 18 months of challenging activity. Through this sustained, meaningful activity, young people develop key life and employability skills, such as self-management, problem solving, team working, communication and confidence.<\/p>\n

BCT founder Paul Burgum said<\/strong> ” This is an amazing opportunity for local children to gain a really great award that i am sure will stay with them a lifetime. I personally know what the outdoors can do for a person and also learning to look after others and working as a team. I can’t thank all the people above for helping us get the programme started, i am sure it will be a whole lot of fun and obviously being me a whole lot of graft”.<\/span><\/p>\n
