We are delighted to announce that Sea Cadets' National Citizen Service pilot is in with the chance of winning a prestigious award.
The scheme was piloted by the charity in four of our six areas last year, and now we have been shortlisted in the National Citizen Service Award category at the Children & Young People Now Awards 2017.
The awards will be held in London in November, and have become the gold standard for everyone working with children, young people and families. Now in their 12th year, these awards offer an opportunity to raise the profile of projects and initiatives to funders and the general public.
Fifty-eight cadets aged between 15 and 17 and from a range of backgrounds took part in the scheme, learning vital life skills along the way. Five NCS pilots were run between September and December in the London, South-West, North and North-West areas.
