National Citizen Service

NCS is a government initiative for 15 to 17 year olds, run in the school/college holidays three times a year (Spring Summer & Autumn). There are lots of different dates available.

First, participants engage in a residential outdoor activity week in Wiltshire in a group with 12-15 others, with the opporunity to try activities like rock climbing, canoeing, hiking and archery.

The second week involves being reunited with their group living away or at home and learning huge life skills - as diverse as meeting community organisations to learning to cook (roast dinners not baked beans!!).

In part 3 the group take part in a Team Challange project which will benefit their community, entirely led by the young people.

The programme ends with a huge party to celebrate everything you've achieved. Once you’ve completed the programme, you'll be part of the bigger NCS family - with the chance to attend some of the best shows and events going, be involved with NCS community partners and receive support for yourself and your future projects.
