NCS brings together young people from different backgrounds and helps them develop greater confidence, self-awareness and responsibility. It encourages personal and social development by working on skills like leadership, teamwork and communication.
Participants develop a social action project to deal with a local issue they’re passionate about, and spend 30 hours putting the project into action in their community. Over the past month we have had two groups working with our patients.
The first group produced a music set and performed to and with our patients. The 60’s vibe was embraced completely! One of our patients regaled the students with his stories of being on tour in his own band in the 60s.
The second group wanted to create something that would thank the volunteers in our organization and show how much they were appreciated.
On the first visit the students filmed patients, staff and volunteers being interviewed about the work volunteers do in the Hospice Day Service. Over that week they produced and edited a beautiful film.
Watch it here!
On the second visit, after providing activities for the patients all day, we had the premier of the film shown to patients, volunteers and staff. The students then provided lots of yummy food through different fundraising activities, for an afternoon tea party shared and enjoyed by all! A big thank you to all those who participated!
