National Citizen Service (NCS) is a government-funded programme for 15-17 year olds. Working through physical, personal and creative challenges, this once-in-a-lifetime experience empowers young people to build skills and confidence, whilst engaging with their local area.

This year NCS are offering two and three week programmes.

• The three week programme will give your child the opportunity to stay away from home for a few days
• The two week programme allows them to remain at home in the evenings
