National programmes

As well as the local programmes we run we manage a number of national programmes on behalf of Government and other organisations. We work closely with our strategic partners to deliver these.

Our national programmes include:

NCS
National Citizen Service (NCS) is a fun but challenging voluntary, personal and social development programme. Through NCS young people will become confident and socially active young adults.

Engage in Education
The Engage in Education programme offers schools and academies specialist services designed to increase the attendance and attainment of pupils most at risk of exclusion from school.

Community Space Challenge

Youth Design Against Crime
Giving young people the chance to create solutions to real life community safety issues.

Take One
