This exclusive, money-can’t-buy prize offers two people the opportunity to enjoy afternoon tea and a private tour of the Palace of Westminster with The Right Hon Lord Boateng.
One of the most iconic buildings in the world, the Palace of Westminster – otherwise known as the Houses of Parliament - and its fascinating collection of national treasures provide a unique perspective on the events that have shaped modern Britain. From the meeting place of the King and his advisory council to the workplace of the representatives of the people in a 21st century democracy, this is considered by many to be the home of modern democracy.
The Right Hon. the Lord Boateng is a member of the House of Lords and a trustee of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation.

This item was kindly donated by The Rt. Hon Lord Paul Boateng.

The Cause

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award equips young people for life. It is the world’s leading youth achievement award. In 2014 more than 1.1 million young people around the world took part in the Award, in 141 countries and territories.

Launched in the UK in 1956, The Award equips all young people for life regardless of their background, culture, physical ability, skills and interests. Doing the Award is a personal challenge and not a competition against others; it pushes young people to their personal limits and recognises their achievements consistently.

A great strength of the Award is that it can be used in any context where young people gather - schools, prisons, Scout/Guide/youth groups, in business, as well as by governments investing in youth development programmes.

By creating opportunities for young people to develop skills, get physically active, give service and experience adventure, the Award can play a critical role in young people's development outside the classroom. It also allows their achievement to be consistently recognised worldwide, giving young people unique international accreditation of their experiences.
