Albion in the Community enjoyed another visit from a local member of Parliament last week.
Tim Loughton, MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Children and Families, met with Jo Robson to hear AITC's plans for National Citizen Service (NCS).
"We are now recruiting Year 11 students to take part in this exciting programme once they have finished their exams," explained Jo.
"Signing up to NCS means they could spend the summer camping, white-water rafting, swinging across rivers, making new friends and making a difference in their local community."
Instigator of NCS, Mr Loughton believes the scheme has real potential. He said, "The young people will have the opportunity to get ahead through fresh and challenging experiences. They will gain leadership and team-building skills and above all, having a good time.
"This flagship government initiative is a real opportunity to stand out from the crowd in their future education or employment plans, with NCS recognised by schools, colleges and employers as a real personal development achievement."
