Young adventurers can discover more about a once in a lifetime opportunity at an opening evening next week.
The Duke of Edinburgh award gives young people the chance to take part in volunteering, sports and adventure activities.
Next week’s free opening will take place on Wednesday from 7pm to 9pm at the South Wimbledon Youth Centre in Haydon’s Road. It is open to young people aged 14 to 25 who live or work in the borough.
Last year 168 of Merton’s young people completed the scheme - compared to 116 the year before.
