We are committed to providing high quality social action opportunities for young people to build their skills and networks outside of school regardless of their background or circumstances. The Office for Civil Society (OCS), now based in DCMS, has spent £185.75 million on youth social action programmes in 2017/18 financial year, broken down as follows - £180.5 million on National Citizen Service (which includes social action as a key element of the programme), £5 million on the #iwill Fund and £250,000 on the British Youth Council’s Youth Voice programme.
