Four NCS providers in Greater Manchester
The National Citizen Service (NCS) programme will be operated by four providers in Greater Manchester during 2012: Bolton Lads and Girls Club, Catch 22, The Challenge Network and Salford Foundation.
NCS is a voluntary eight-week summer programme for 16-year-olds administered by the Office for Civil Society and the Department for Education. It aims to help young people develop the skills and attitudes they need to become more engaged with their communities and become active and responsible citizens.
Across England, the programme this year will give up to 30,000 16-year-olds the chance to learn new skills and get involved in their community. During the pilots in 2011, 10,000 places were available.
