Damian was invited to visit a group of students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh's award at The Petersfield School recently. Commenting during his visit, Damian said: "It was a real pleasure to meet the students from the Petersfield School taking on the challenge of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The programme provides so many valuable opportunities - building resilience, teamwork, leadership, and a strong work ethic - all essential skills for life. The strong focus on volunteering and giving back to society is what makes the Award so special and it's something we must continue to support and value. It's inspiring to see the programme thriving in East Hampshire, with over 700 young people taking part this year.”
