Start 2024 with something amazing!

Our Spring NCS 48hr programme for local 16-17 yrs at Skern Lodge focusses on developing three branches: Challenging Activities, Skill Development, and Take Action.

Challenging Activities - get to know yourself and others, have some fun, engage with something new, take on new experiences

Skill Development - personal awareness, communicating value to others, effective teamwork and leadership, problem solving strategies

Take Action - make a difference, be part of positive action against a negative narrative, personal intervention, community responsibility

The programme is COMPLETLEY FREE (thank you NCS!) and will see you starting the year succeeding in some fantastic challenges, directly improving your local community, and with boosted employability skills and work readiness - really useful content to include in that next job application, interview chat, or UCAS personal statement!

Full activity kit and training provided by our team of awesome Outdoor Instructors, all you need is to wear suitable clothes that you can be active in (all weathers!) and to bring your own lunch on the full days - easy! The nearest bus stop to Skern Lodge is the number 21 which drops off on Appledore Quay or right outside Appledore FC.
