Club Doncaster Foundation came in to school recently to tell year 11 students all about the exciting NCS programme. 

NCS is great fun and a fantastic way to build skills and experiences needed to help young people stand out in job and university applications. They’ll take on new challenges and adventures, make new friends, learn new skills and give something back to their community.

Along with thousands of other people their age, they’ll spend time away from home completing outdoor challenges and building their confidence. They’ll work with local businesses and charities, learn about issues impacting their community and develop their interview skills through a variety of interactive workshops. Young people will then have the opportunity to plan and run their own community project to benefit their local area. After completing NCS, a special graduation ceremony will be held to recognise and celebrate young people’s achievements and present them with their certificate of accomplishment signed by the Prime Minister.

NCS is a stepping stone between secondary education and employment / further education - it’s UCAS approved and would look great on employment and university applications. Over 98% of those who took part in the programme last year would recommend it to their friends and 92% of participants said they’ve developed more skills for their future. 

NCS runs across a range of dates during the summer holidays and autumn half term. The programme costs £1,500 but because its government backed it costs you £50 which will cover all accommodation, transport and meals (during residential phases), activities and equipment. Bursaries are available and support can be provided for young people with additional needs.

Thank you to Callum, Gabby and Oscar from Club D Foundation for their time.
