The activities programme within NACYP has been developed to encourage all young people within our target age group (11 – 19 yrs) to become active citizens and participants in an event or activity which will offer them opportunities not just for immediate enjoyment and satisfaction but lifelong learning experiences.
 
The programme on offer to the young people of Northumberland is accessible through direct provision but also in partnership with your local youth clubs and projects. NACYP is proud to work with over 100 youth groups throughout the year.

•    Our activities offer young people the opportunity to improve their health, become active and make a positive contribution through leadership in their community

•    The events and activities are about having a go, but if talent emerges we can provide a pathway into Regional and National competitions
 
•    At NACYP we offer all our leaders the opportunity to train and qualify for Community Leadership with National Governing Bodies (NGB)

•    NACYP provide a full programme of activity for all participants
