Twenty four students have signed up to take part in a National Citizenship Service programme. As part of the programme the students attended a four day residential at Kepplewray Outdoor Centre and a three day training programme at Furness College which also included some volunteering at Ford Park in Ulverston. The residential activities included canoeing, raft building, gyhll scrambling, abseiling, hiking and an overnight wild camp on the shore of Coniston Water. The students will now participate in thirty hours volunteering before they receive their certificate. The programme has been delivered by Inspira and is a National Programme.
