The Duke of Edinburgh Award

In 2006 Burnley FC became the first North West football club to begin to deliver the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Participants generally start with the Bronze Award at the age of around 14 years and work progressively to the Gold Award.

Each Award contains a Service, Skill, Physical Recreation and Expedition Element. Participants can complete part of the Award or complete each section to receive the full Award.

Burnley FC takes a new intake for each Award around the beginning of the new football season each year. We introduce the Award to all Burnley Schools and give each child the opportunity to start working towards the Bronze Award.

If you or your son/daughter does not attend a Burnley School but wishes to participate in the Award Scheme please call us on 01282 700081 or email the D of E Award Officer at m.hargreaves@burnleyfc.com for more information.
