Hey forumites.
We’d love to know if you have any feedback on the National Citizen Service. Like…
• Has your child been?
• Did they enjoy it?
• What did they learn?
You can register your child for the upcoming Oct half-term programme (as long as they've not been before). Full info: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/national-citizen-service
Thanks for your help!

The NCS is a gov. initiative open to 15 - 17 yr olds to get involved in their community. Participants go on a residential, then plan and carry out a service project. The cost is heavily subsidised (£35 - £50) and those that complete the service get a letter from Cameron and UCAS recognition.
All in all, a very worthwhile initiative that develops youngsters social and problem solving skills.
My DS1 is currently on his residential somewhere in Staffordshire and spent yesterday caving and night orienteering. His service project may end up helping clearing up after the floods.
Well done those that run this scheme, its a really good initiative!

"You need to live in England or Northern Ireland" - so not UK wide or indeed "national"
It does say ENGLAND and NI, maybe it's a devolved thing and Wales and Scotland have used the funding eslewhere?

He got to keep the sleeping bag, mattress, 2 t-shirts and a hoodie; and they even gave half of the fee back at the graduation ceremony.
I was a bit suspicious when I first heard of the scheme - it seemed too good to be true. But with the benefit of hindsight, I heartily recommend it.
