<p>The most recent publicly available figure from the NCS 2016 evaluation report show
that for every £1 of taxpayer money spent on the 2016 summer programme, £1.79 is provided
back to society by the NCS programme in terms of the economic benefit. For the 2016
Autumn programme for every £1 spend, £2.21 is provided back in terms of the economic
benefits. The economic benefits relate to the identified impact the NCS programme
has in respect to volunteering and leadership.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
NCS Trust is the Royal Chartered Arms-Length Body overseeing and implementing the
programme, in line with the NCS Act 2017. The NCS Trust’s budget is reviewed and approved
by DCMS on an annual basis in line with Managing Public Money standards. The National
Audit Office audits the NCS Trust’s accounts each year.</p>
