The programme is throughout the summer holidays – the four week, part-residential programme will include a week’s stay at an outdoor adventure centre complete with activities like rock-climbing and archery, followed by a week staying away from home in university style accommodation where young people work with local businesses to improve employability skills and a social action project during where teens will give back to their communities by volunteering and fundraising.

The programme is backed by the government so signing up costs just £50 including food, transport and accommodation, with financial support available on a case by case basis.

David Todd, contract manager for NCS North West, said: “There’s just one month to go until the start of our summer programme, year on year we’ve had teenagers leave NCS a completely new person. Spots are quickly filling, but we still have a few spaces left for July.

To register or sign up, just visit ncsnorthwest.co.uk.”
