Sir Oliver's Written Parliamentary Question on the nature of voluntary work in the National Citizen Service

  • Tweet
Tuesday, 17 February, 2015

Below is Sir Oliver's Written Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office about the nature of voluntary work in the National Citizen Service, and the answer he received from them.

Q: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the nature and the extent of voluntary work undertaken as part of the National Citizen Service in England.  

A: Since 2011 over 130,000 young people have taken part in National Citizen Service (NCS), giving an estimated 3.2 million hours of volunteering to their communities. This has consisted of over 8,000 social action projects ranging from the renovation of community spaces, to charity fundraising events.

The independent evaluation of the NCS programme also demonstrates that it is creating a movement of young people who feel a greater responsibility towards their community and who are more likely to help out locally in the future.
