National Citizen Service Trust

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 28 October 2016 to Question 50181, what the cost, inclusive of operating costs of the National Citizen Service Trust and payments to delivery organisations, has been to the public purse of each young person undertaking the National Citizen Service programme in each financial year since that programme's inception.

Answer

Unit cost per NCS participant is calculated by an independent evaluator using their own methodology (as set out in the answer to Question 50181). This methodology includes payments to providers but excludes Trust operating costs in order to give a programme delivery unit cost that is directly comparable between years.

NCS Trust has delivered the programme since 2013 and has achieved year on year growth in participants. For further information on the NCS Trust’s operating budget, please see the published NCS Trust accounts which are available through Companies House.
