NCS Arvostelua 

My daughter had a good time. It was a positive experience, she made new friends, enjoyed the atmosphere and learned new skills.
Staff was supportive and friendly

I liked my NCS experience because I had a chance to meet new people from different places and learn different cultures...i also was able to make new friends.... And also the activities we did were so good ... We were not only having fun but also learning some new life skills... and also it enabled me to be more confident socially..... I highly recommend....i actually rate it a 10 outta 10 experience the only way to spend your summer holiday is the NCS way periodt ‼️ 💅

What made the experience great is how all of the staff were so supportive like if you needed a chat with them they are there. They push you to do your best and in activities. I would go again because they taught me things I never knew and the staff might not think they do a lot but it’s how the yp feels inside because before I went to NCS Milton Keyens I was feeling very alone and made some wrong decisions but now I’m back home I haven’t made any bad decisions and I know I have people to talk to all ways but will forever miss all the NCS staff and hope to be back next year. If you are looking to go away for a 4 night 5 day experience I suggest you go to NCS LIVE IT in Milton Keynes

Great activities that definitely have boosted my confidence. Amazing to meet new people and meet the staff who were so welcoming. I will never forget my NCS experience and will recommend it to so many people. Thank you to all the staff who were at kibblestone

This was a fantastic opportunity for my son-very good value and the activities were worthwhile and my son enjoyed every minute. The leaders were young and full of energy and enthusiasm and I can’t praise them highly enough. Would definitely recommend- a great experience at a key time of life

Absolutely amazing one of the best tho bff s I’ve ever done, met so many new friends and the leaders are the absolute best

Falsely advertised,didn't get to do many off the activities and was mainly indoor sessions but one thing that saved it from being terrible were the friendly staff. The manger Andy and the staff Oscar,Dee and Jasmine tried there best to make every activity as fun as possible and taught everyone many life skills and were always there to help.Whenever my friend and I needed anything we were able to speak to andy and she would resolve or help our issues.They were all really funny and saved the trip despite the lack of outdoor activities.

Staff are amazing words can’t describe how grateful I am to have them on my trip however the actual program itself was very very disappointing as we barley got to do any real sessions but the staff did their best to help out and still try make it everyone have the best time I wouldn’t recommend it as it seems very on and off some people get to do a lot of activities and have fun whereas people like me have the boring experience and get sold a facade. Lovely staff very very friendly and nice the manager andy is amazing along with denecia and jasmine and Oscar they are incredible people treaded us amazingly and helped us have the most fun we possibly could they deserve better then having to put up with having to compromise and put up with not having a lot of fun sessions to facilitate but ncs itself is very disappointing and wouldn’t recommend.

My daughter had a fantastic time on the NCS residential, the activities were fantastic, she made new friends and said the group leaders were lovely people. Would thoroughly recommend this to other young people.

My son went to Castleton & had a fab time, from rock-climbing, abseiling, a trip to Go Ape, he even made a new friend.. a goat he named George😂 the staff were brill, highly recommend this experience.

Our team leader Emile was amazing and it was such a good experience. I would 100% recommend the NCS experience to anyone considering going. We made lots of memories and had so much fun and i would definitely do it again

This is a fantastic opportunity and experience for teens to spend a week away from home to meet a diverse range of new people, new friends, try new things, develop team work & have amazing fun! And all for a heavily subsidised cost too. The organisers and leaders were great too!

I took part in the ncs live it experience at kings wood West Runton. There were lots of activities such as archery, Jacob’s ladder and climbing. Our leaders were always involved and made the week very exciting and fun. We also did some less adventurous activities such as a visit to the beach, a fun talent show and buggy building. The food was also better than expected and the accommodation was okay. I would recommend this experience!

My daughter was buzzing after coming back from her week with NCS.
She made loads of new friends and did loads of different activities.
Really good value for money, she said accommodation was comfortable and food decent as a vegetarian.
I think the staff are what really made it for her, sounds like they really know how to engage with teens and get the best out of them.
Special mention for Joe who was their team leader who did a brilliant job!

Ncs genuinely made my summer. This place is the happiest I’ve ever been all of the team leaders and people there were 10/10 and I made so many genuine friends.I went alone scared I wasn’t gona make any friends and now I’ve made life long connections. It has massively brought on my confidence. My team leader Abby was phenomenal and was an absolute sweetheart. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We had done everything from rock climbing to making a fire and a stew in the woods.If I could do this again every week I would. All of the staff made me feel so welcome and loved.
Thank you so muchhhhhh!!!!

Absolutely fantastic experience for my daughter. Very well organised, with representatives ready to meet families and children at the coach station to travelling with them, being with them and setting up valuable life skill based activities. My shy daughter had an amazing time and felt safe, secure and made new friends. She wants to go back!

My daughter had the best time with NCS, she loved all the activities, met lots of lovely people and was guided by the best leaders. If you have a young person in your care please encourage them to go on the NCS programme!

The NCS Live it experience was by far the best thing i’ve ever done! We went to the Laches Wood outdoor centre campus and my leader was Molly. On the first day i honestly wanted to go home. it was nothing like what i was expecting it to be and i was pretty ill over the first night, but Molly convinced me to stay and i’m so so so glad i did. Ive got over my fears, learned it’s okay to be myself round others, Learned so many new skills, Made so many new friends and got an extremely full camera roll from all the pictures and videos. I am 100% going again next year and recommend everyone else to as well. You won’t regret it!

My daughter went to Kibblestone with NCS. She had an amazing time, all sorts of activities, made good friends who she is planning on staying in touch with. She said the food was fine. She had a spinal fusion for scoliosis and was able to take part in all the activities, the leaders also offered her a camp bed which was lovely. She loved it, thank you!

We booked our son onto the NCS after good feedback from friends whose kids had attended.
He was incredibly resistant as none of his school mates were going. Lots of drama beforehand.
However, once we had finally got him out of the car and he had talked to some of the kids there, the anxiety levels disappeared.
By his own admission had an amazing time. Well organised, good accomodation and food. Great activities.
He came back almost a different child. Made new friends. He is confident, more talkative and positive.
Cannot compliment NCS enough.
