As proud providers for the National Citizen service (NCS) youth programme and with more young people signing up to the programme, each year is getting bigger and bigger.
To celebrate this year's summer programme, we planned a social media campaign with the incentive for young people to share their NCS experiences, memories and adventures whilst using our collaborative hashtag: #NCSLBD.
This campaign took place between June and August.
We introduced the hashtag for young people to use and share so we could keep track of all their adventures, including the incentive of a potential winner for the most engaged post on social media.
The Statistics
This summer, we had more mentions of our hashtag than ever before, reaching almost 40,000 followers and having over 3,000 interactions on social media.
The Winner
By the end of the summer programme, we had a winner for the most engaged social media post that included the hashtag: #NCSLBD
Congratulations to @shannonaveyardx
This young person shared her amazing experience of meeting new friends and developing her confidence on the programme with a fun montage of photos on Instagram.
A Special Mention
We’ve seen many incredible social action projects from this year’s teams, however, we’d like to give a special mention to a team’s inspiring action project: @2Acceptis2Love
We thoroughly enjoyed all their posts about body positivity and the powerful message they pursued in their campaign.
Thank you for all the hard work by the young people on the NCS summer programme.
