National Citizen Service (NCS) is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity open to all 15-17 year olds across England.
Teens meet and learn how to work with diverse groups of people they don’t normally get the chance to meet.NCS helps teach the skills employers say they are increasing looking for in candidates: confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.
Every teen can participate, whether they are academic, sporty or creative and regardless of income, background or ambitions.
Delivered by Peterborough United Foundation, you can have the experience of a lifetime this Summer with every young person who sign’s up to the programme receiving 2 free tickets to a Peterborough United FC match.
Peterborough United Foundation is the official charity of Peterborough United Football Club and works with people of all ages in the Greater Peterborough area. Peterborough United prides itself on being a Community Club and, through the Foundation, recognises its responsibility to the local area.
