George Eustice recently visited a group of young people taking part in the National Citizenship Service (NCS).
Set up back in 2011 as a type of modern day, non-military National Service, NCS is open to all 16-17 year olds in England and aims to bring together young people from all sorts of different backgrounds, helping to break down social barriers and develop self-confidence. As NCS is a residential course, it gives participants the opportunity to leave home behind for a couple of weeks and immerse themselves in a fresh environment and make new friends.
The team George met were putting the finishing touches to a children’s play area at the BMX track at Parc Erissey and were celebrating the completion of the project with a well-deserved BBQ in the sun.
