Resolve International launch new partnership 

project Challenge Nepal.

Young people attending Duke of Edinburgh's award

scheme in East Lancashire will support 

Resolve International through volunteering 

activities.

Lancashire Young People’s Service,  Burnley Football Club 

Community Sports Trust, Duke of Edinburgh schemes are both 

participating in the pilot project.

Bronze level participants aged 14-16 will gain practical skills 

in campaigning, promotion and managing collections of sports 

wear. Resolve International through its Sports Gear Recycling 

programme will send the sportswear to Nepal. 

The sports wear will be used by local Nepali organizations 

working with orphans, street-children and rural schools. 

Sport is a great way to encourage young people in Nepal to 

become involved in activities which lead to more positive 

lifestyles.

Gold level participants aged 18-24 will also be involved in 

campaigning and raising funds to support projects in Nepal. 

The Gold level participants will also train as programme leaders

and assist Bronze participants in their volunteering activites.
