Thirteen graduates from last summer’s National Citizen Service programme joined us at Carrow Road on Saturday for the third annual NCS Match Day.
They spent the build up to kick off sharing their NCS experiences and brainstorming ideas, before watching Norwich City FC’s 3-2 EFL Championship victory against in-form Bristol City.
NCS Match Day was launched in 2017 to show how football and young people can unite communities and make a massive difference together, and is hosted by Premier League and Football League clubs nationwide.
The 13 who attended at Carrow Road were among almost 700 young people to graduate National Citizen Service with the Community Sports Foundation last summer. Over 4,000 young people from Norfolk completing the programme with CSF since its inception in 2011.
“Match Day is a fantastic opportunity to give something back to our graduates who want to stay involved in NCS,” said NCS Engagement Coordinator Alex Spindler. “It’s hugely gratifying to hear them speak so passionately about the programme, and with the majority being Norwich City fans, it’s great to be able to invite them to a game as a special thank you”.
If you know somebody aged 15-17 who would like to take part in National Citizen Service, there are still spaces available for this summer. To find out more, click here.
"I thought it was a great day. It was nice to be given the opportunity to see people from the summer again and watch Norwich play"

Participants on our National Citizen Service raise funds for charities and support community groups
When you donate a little each month, you will be helping to transform the lives of local people of all ages who need our support – giving them the opportunity to connect with others like them, feel happier and healthier in themselves, and raise their aspirations.
We have Soccer Schools running at venues across Norfolk & Suffolk, and whether participants are new to football, or are already a budding Canary superstar, the Soccer Schools programme has been put together to provide a fun, holiday activity at an affordable price.
As Norwich City Football Club's official charity partner, we help thousands of people every year achieve their goals through sport, supporting some of the most disadvantaged, disabled and talented people across Norfolk. Our vision is to support, inspire, and improve our community.
