The National Citizen Service (NCS) Trust has announced it is going to offer year-round activities for young people in 2023.
The move marks a major change for the NCS, created in 2011 by then Prime Minister David Cameron to focus on summer and autumn residential programmes for 16- to 17-year-olds.
Under the overhauled provision, the residential experience of NCS will be revamped to span five days and four nights rather than its traditional offer of a one- to-two-week stay within a four-week programme.
Other options will include one-off community-based activities and online learning, and there will also be a strong focus on employability and independent living in addition to social action and volunteering.
