Teenagers urged to sign up for summer fun with the Millers

Rotherham United Community Sports Trust wants to hear from young people aged 15 to 17 who are thinking about signing up for this week’s National Citizen Service (NCS) course.

The project begins with a week away featuring adventure activities such as rock climbing, abseiling, gauge scrambling, caving and raft building.

Those taking part spend the next week learning skills for life while staying in university dorms in Sheffield, before the course is completed with a two-week community project.

Carole Foster from RUCST said: “By choosing to come on NCS you will embark on a fantastic four week programme comprised of residential and social action activity.

“Such activities are designed to empower young people by encouraging you to take responsibility for your own actions and development.

“NCS gives young people the chance to experience life away from home, take on new challenges, meet new people and make new friends, while improving confidence and boosting your CV.”

Two “waves” of NCS are planned for this summer, with the first running from Monday, July 20, to Friday, August 14, and the second from Monday, August 3, to Friday, August 28.
