NCS (National Citizen Service)
The NCS (National Citizen Service) is a once–in-a-lifetime opportunity for all 16 and 17 year olds across Newham – and across England
NCS is a unique two or three week full-time programme focused around fun and discovery and 30 hours committed to a community project, designed entirely by you, that benefits both you and your community.
Taking place outside of term time in the spring, summer and autumn, you’ll build skills for work and life, take on new challenges and adventures, and make new friends.
NCS costs no more than £50 (with bursaries available on a case by case basis) – that includes spending up to two weeks away from home and includes all meals and all activities – so it’s great value for money.
In the first week you’ll be at an outward bound facility taking part in activities such as abseiling, water rafting and canoeing. The second week, you’ll live away from home, typically at a university halls of residence, learning how to be self-sufficient, developing new skills and finding out more about the needs of your community.
After executing your social action project you’ll graduate with a certificate signed by the
Prime Minister, and give your CV and job, college or university applications an amazing head start at the same time.
