NCS- The Challenge

So this Sunday I will be meeting a bunch of other 16-17 year olds at 9am to experience an amazing week of outdoor fun and make loads of new friends.
I found out about NCS when they came into my school and did a presentation and then most of my favourite youtubers joined in and started to promote it. Basically, for the first week we will be going to the Lake District for a week and doing loads of fun outdoor activities such as abseiling, kayaking, hiking and really just pushing yourself to overcome your fears and help others!
The second week we are staying in the halls accommodation at Manchester University and we will complete a task from the area we've chosen and we'll work in a team to create a presentation whilst working with professionals in the area.
Finally, we will get together for 4 weekend in September to do a project to help improve our community and make a change.

This is a really fantastic opportunity and I'm so excited but slightly nervous as I'm not the best at making new friends lets say... But as I will be attending college in September it seemed the perfect way to boost my confidence and it gives me some independence away from my family ! (Also, we got a super comfy hoodie to wear when we go 😃)
