WHO WE ARE
We are a catalyst for positive change, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and empowering individuals and communities to thrive.
Despite the demands of his extensive business commitments, the Duke devotes a significant portion of his time to supporting a wide range of non-profit charities, institutes, trade and historical associations, as well as companies and organisations committed to meaningful and lasting impact. His engagement reflects a deep belief that leadership carries a responsibility to serve, uplift, and inspire.
​
DukeofD is a life-changing experience.
It is a time to connect — with friends, collaborators, partners, and customers. It is an opportunity to explore new interests, discover hidden talents, and unlock potential. It is a powerful tool for developing essential skills for both life and work, and a recognised symbol of personal achievement.
DukeofD means different things to different people, yet its purpose remains the same: to support generations in navigating adult life with confidence, resilience, and purpose. Every young person can take part in DukeofD, regardless of skill level, gender, background, or location.
Earning a prize is not about competition or being first.
It is about setting personal challenges, pushing boundaries, and achieving growth on one’s own terms.
WHAT WE DO
We build bridges.
We promote well-being where it is lacking.
We cultivate lasting prosperity.
Through carefully designed projects and initiatives, we enrich lives and strengthen communities. Our work includes cultural initiatives, artistic and historical events, forums, conferences, meetings, competitions, and every meaningful action required to support personal growth and collective progress.
We connect worlds — linking opportunity with need, and potential with possibility. By creating sustainable wealth where it is most needed and empowering those seeking knowledge, we enable individuals and communities to gain the tools they need to shape their own futures.
Our mission is not simply to advocate for change, but to make it happen — through education, collaboration, and opportunity.
