NCS - unforgettable experience


Signing up to NCS was an easy decision. Having the reps talk to us in our school assembly I knew instantly that NCS was something I wanted to be involved in. 

I spent the first week in Devon getting to know my team while partaking in many different challenging outdoor activities. Week two brought us to Brighton university spending the time living together as a group and continuing to learn a range of unique and interesting skills.

Weeks three and four our groups worked on different community projects. Our group chose to concentrate on raising awareness for autism, supporting Resources for Autism.
Overall I felt that meeting new people was the best part of NCS. I have had a brilliant time and made some lifelong friends. It has helped me with my confidence and I have learnt many new skills.


NCS has been an unforgettable experience. Thank you.

NCS graduate volunteering


Naomi, one of our summer graduates, spent her evening on the 3rd of December volunteering for FareShare. Together with other volunteers, they placed themselves as Tescos up Boundary Road to raise awareness and collect food gifts, that later are to be redistributed to other charities, providing meals for people that can afford it. 

The result? Two large trolleys ready to help people in need.
