Life Chances – Naval Childrens Charity

Life Chances Programme

In partnership with Greenwich Hospital

Our Life Chances programme has been designed in partnership with Naval young people via our NCC Youth Council and centers around three key themes: Outdoor, Creative, and Education.

Here’s how the Life Chances Programme makes an impact:

• Boosting Confidence and Wellbeing

Opportunities to build essential life skills through activities that promote resilience, teamwork, and self-belief.

• Unlocking Educational Success

Working towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award? Many of these activities can be counted! We are also working with the Forces Employment Charity to embed careers advice, CV support and future planning.

• Building a Sense of Belonging

Connecting young people with others from Naval families, participants can develop a shared sense of belonging and understanding, creating friendships that could last a lifetime.
