Details
The National Citizen Service Trust is a youth programme that runs across England, focused on 16- 17 year olds poised on the cusp of adulthood. They have both the maturity and open mindedness to reflect on their lives and the world around them whilst being open to change, new ideas and people. NCS is the only recognised and Government-funded programme offering an important intervention at this critical time in their lives, helping to develop the young national citizens of the future.
The Trust is incorporated by Royal Charter pursuant to the National Citizen Service Act (2017) and is governed by a diverse board of trustees. The NCS programme is almost entirely funded by HM Government, through the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS) and the responsibility for commissioning and overseeing the delivery of the NCS programme belongs to the Trust.
The Trust received a £158.6m grant-in-aid (GiA) from DCMS in 2019/20. Other income amounted to £3.54m and total expenditure for the year was £156.4m. Please see the financial statements and notes for more detailed information.
It is a legal obligation of the Trust to publish an Annual Report in line with a series of regulations– including the Government’s Financial Reporting Manual.
