My eldest daughter is in year 10 , i can't believe how quick the years have gone. She is very strong minded and works extremely hard at school. Over the past few months she has been a little anxious about her GCSE'S next year, and what she wants to do when she is older.
I believe experience is key when it comes to children and most importantly building life skills and the confidence they need to guide them through their adult life.
The National Citizen Service programme sounds like something Kadiann would absolutely love!. It is a government backed programme aimed at 16 and 17 year olds across England and Northern Ireland . It has been designed to help build a more cohesive, mobile and engaged society. By bringing together young people from different backgrounds for a once in a life time shared summer experience.
The 2-4 week programme takes place in the school holidays. It includes outdoor team building exercises, a residential for participants to learn 'life skills', a community based social action project and an end of programme celebration event.

Wow I can't believe how affordable this is, such a great option for teenagers to stay occupied this summer :)
ReplyDeleteI hope this scheme is still going strong when my son is old enough, I think it would be brilliant for him!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a wonderful scheme! It isn't very expensive either, so people from a range of financial backgrounds will be able to take part. It's done at the perfect time as well so people who are preparing for university can gain some good skills before setting off for their first time away from home.
ReplyDeleteNCS sounds like good value for money. My nephew would need this in a few years.
ReplyDeleteKian had an amazing time when he did his, gave him focus to find work when he came back too
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for this age group. It gives them so much experience
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like great fun and value, I will let my friends know
ReplyDeleteThis course sounds really great and ideal for teenagers. I hope there are things like this available when my son gets to the right age!
ReplyDeleteWow, I thought it would be so much more expensive. What a great opportunity for teens!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like a great idea. Really good price too :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great concept and so affordable too!
ReplyDeleteI love stuff like this - the concept is amazing! Instead of lazing around watching Netflix over summer you're getting out there and being hands on as well as enjoying yourself! Winner all around!
