About NCS

National Citizen Service (NCS) is a once-in-a-lifetime government-backed opportunity open to all 15-17-year-olds in England. Running the summer and autumn, the experience helps young people build skills for work and life, while they take on new challenges and meet new friends.

To date, approximately 600,000 young people have taken part in NCS across the country. The experience is specifically designed to bring together young people from different backgrounds and helps them develop greater self-awareness, responsibility and confidence that will stick with them for life. Additionally, it also looks great on any CV or UCAS statement!

about our programme

The unique three-week full-time programme is split into three different phases:

Week 1

Firstly, teens will experience the freedom of staying away from home at an outdoor activity centre where they will take part in adventurous activities like rock-climbing, canoeing, hiking and archery.

Week 2

Staying in university-style accommodation. Taking on challenges such as cooking and budgeting as well as learning some key transferable skills for their future selves.

Week 3

Finally, using their entrepreneurial hats on to think up some ways to do good in their local area; dedicating 30-hours to planning and delivering their own social action projects.

At the end of the experience, participants will graduate from the NCS programme at a special event for both family and friends at The Mobile Rocket Stadium. This event is not only an opportunity to showcase the fantastic work they have achieved during the summer but also to receive a certificate signed by the Prime Minister!

Finally, here at NCS we never ask for more than £50 for your young person to come away with us. This £50 covers everything from activities and accommodation to food and travel in the residential phases Financial assistance is also. Spaces are limited and need to be booked in advance.

Testimonials

It’s good to get some volunteering experience in a really friendly environment, especially after being home for so long!

EleanorNCS Participant 2020

It’s good community skills and makes me feel good because I’m helping people out who maybe don’t have the facilities to do stuff we take for granted

KeavenNCS Participant 2020

NCS gave me a fun and safe environment to be in and it took my mind off all the bad things that were happening.

JoshNCS Participant 2020

It was a really uplifting experience after staying at home for so long and I’m really grateful to have had that opportunity. Getting out and about whilst also rebuilding the community was a great way to spend my summer and I feel so lucky to have done that during the pandemic.

EllieNCS Participant 2020

We did a lot of gardening, building and painting to transform the space in to a place for the community. It had a big impact on the charity because nobody had been able to upkeep the allotment during the lockdown, so giving a few weeks of our time will hopefully be meaningful to the charity and the community who use it.
