National Citizen Service
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Good News - NCS is running this Summer!
You may already be aware, but I want to bring your attention to a fantastic opportunity this summer for your son/daughter with Bradford City Community Foundation. NCS (National Citizen Service) is an experience specially designed for 16-17 year olds, and they only have the opportunity to do it once! The programme gives young people a few weeks out over the summer holiday to meet new people, try new things and learn new skills. NCS is all about helping teenagers realise their potential, by giving them a taste for independence and loading them up with new skills so they can go on to smash their future goals.
As a national youth programme, NCS is made up of a number of regional providers - and that’s where Bradford City Foundation comes in. Their NCS team have recently talked to all of our Year 11s about the opportunity of NCS this summer. They are also hosting a drop-in session online for any questions you may have about the programme. If you would like to join then please contact the NCS representative Olivia on; email olivia.storey@bcfccomunity.co.uk or message 07787 325061.
Year on year, Beckfoot School has a number of students that take part in NCS to challenge themselves and support their local community which no more than ever is more is so important. I believe this to be a fantastic opportunity for them to gain life skills before they embark on what comes next in their future. NCS is great value for money with only a contribution of up to £50. That includes, food, accommodation (if 3 week programme), travel and all the activities and workshops. NCS is for everyone though so please do not let cost be a barrier, there are bursaries available which the team from Bradford City Community Foundation can discuss further with you.
If your child is interested in doing NCS then head over to www.wearencs.com where you can secure their place.
Kind regards,
Katie Holmes
Student Leadership Coordinator
