New Opportunities: DofE Bronze

We are excited to announce that 1st Holgate is proposing to run a Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Bronze group alongside our Explorer Units this year. This is a fantastic opportunity for young people in Year 9 and above to build resilience and leadership skills.

Join the “Friends of 1st Holgate”

We have recently launched new WhatsApp channels to make communication easier across the group. This includes our “Friends of 1st Holgate” group for anyone interested in providing informal support, from assisting at meetings to helping with small tasks behind the scenes.
