Ali Reece

Spending time outdoors is key for wellbeing. Initiatives like the Duke of Edinburgh's Award are a great way to engage young people, teach life skills and empower them.

Ali is happiest outdoors, and he is sure that time in the open air, and the confidence that comes with it, can change how a young person sees themselves. From skiing to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, he backs the experiences that stretch young people, teach them to rely on themselves and each other, and widen their sense of what is possible.
