The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is the leading global youth development organisation bringing life skills to millions of youth around the world. The Award is a non-competitive, self-development program for youth aged 14 and 24. The Award is an activity or project based non-formal education program which enables young people to develop a skill, a physical activity, volunteer in their community and participate in an expedition. The program is flexible in that participants get to select what they want to focus on (including extending themselves in the activities and interests already being undertaken), and provides the structure, support and the end goal of receiving the award which is recognised worldwide. The Award not only equips participants with new skills, but confidence and the ability to work towards goals. The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award was founded in the United Kingdom in 1956 by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Today, The Award is running in 130 countries globally and 8 million young people have achieved and benefited from The Award.

Legacy Australia

Legacy is a unique Australian charity dedicated to the care of widows and dependants of war veterans who’ve given their life or their health, as well as families of Australian Defence Force personnel killed in hazardous service, training or peacekeeping operations. Legacy was founded in 1923 by a small group of World War One veterans. Returned servicemen banded together, and eventually took up a “legacy of care” for the welfare of the wives and children of their comrades who were killed during the war, or who died subsequently. The personal contact of our volunteer Legatees is the key to the Legacy support. Individual Legatees are assigned to each family and it is this individual care and support which allows Legatees to access the support they require. In many circumstances Legatees also fulfil a special role as mentor for Junior Legatees. The Spirit of Legacy is Service. Personal effort is the main essential. Throughout Australia, Legacy’s services are provided to more than beneficiaries, including 1,300 children and 1,100 people with a disability. It is provided by more than 3,600 members (called Legatees) and community service workers through 43 clubs Australia-wide. The Badge of Legacy symbolises in its torch the undying flame of service and sacrifice handed to us by our comrades in war who have passed on. In its wreath of laurel, with its points inverted in remembrance, is the guerdon (recognition) of honour; that is the meed (reward) of those who gave their lives for their country.
