Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how he plans to reduce the cost per participant of the National Citizen Service.
This question was answered on 1st March 2016
Consecutive, independent evaluations have demonstrated that National Citizen Service (NCS) delivers value for money and that the cost per participant has fallen since NCS began. In 2013, the NCS Trust, an independent social enterprise, was established to manage NCS and deliver the programme. Cabinet Office is working closely with the NCS Trust to develop their plans to extend NCS to 360,000 young people per year by 2020, whilst ensuring value for money for the taxpayer.
