We also deliver a number of split sessions whereby two venues will be visited within one night, maximising the number of young people reached. Working within the community the vehicles are used to promote NCC Youth Services at local events, fairs and fetes. Your Workers deliver a wide range of social and recreational activities from the vehicles. We provide music, dance arts, sports and adventure activities as well as usual youth club activities, including gaming console.
