<p><b>National Citizen Service</b>, also known as <b>NCS</b>, was a Government-funded personal and social development programme in England available for 16-17 year olds. The scheme was run by the NCS Trust, a public body for youth and a key component of the Government's National Youth Guarantee. Since being founded by <a href="page.php?w=David_Cameron">David Cameron</a> in 2009, NCS provided over one million away-from-home youth development activities to 16 and 17-year-olds. The scheme closed in March 2025, following an announcement from <a href="page.php?w=Secretary_of_State_for_Culture%2C_Media_and_Sport">Culture Secretary</a></p><p>
