Brentford FC Community Sports Trust launched National Citizens Service

Brentford’s match against Leeds on the 11th of February was also the occasion for Brentford FC Community Sports Trust to celebrate the launch of its National Citizen Service (NCS) in west London.

Brentford FC Community Sports Trust organized the awareness-raising campaign, #NCSMatchday, to deliver NCS in west London. A vast group of teenagers took part in the event at Griffin Park’s prestigious Guard of Honour, where the young Bees fans could also retrieve some more information about the project.

The main goal of the NCS programme, which is funded by the government, is that through a four-week programme, 16-17-year-olds develop lifelong skills and take on new challenges. The programme includes an activity week in Norfolk, learning valuable life skills at the University of West London and a social action project that NCS students have the scope and independence to shape.

“I am proud to support the Trust’s NCS programme at the Leeds match. It is a programme that offers young people a unique opportunity to meet new people and develop new skills that will equip them for the future.” said Brentford’s goalkeeper David Raya, who helped endorse the NCS programme before the game.
