The Duke of Edinburgh Award Group meets on Thursdays 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Village Centre.

The group has gone from strength to strength this year with seven students recently receiving their Silver Awards from the Mayor of Brighton & Hove at the annual D of E Presentation Evening held at Hove Town Hall.

While many of the group move on to the Gold Award a new Bronze group is starting in January at the Village Centre.
