I WAS involved with Bolton Lads and Girls Club on one of its annual National Citizen Service Enterprise Days last week.

It was held at the University of Bolton. NCS involves residential stays for scores of young people, with the Enterprise Days bringing them together with local business people.

There are various tasks, all designed to develop team spirit and employability but there was also plenty of fun.

The teens proved bright, innovative and fascinating as they looked at the skills they will need for their futures.

It was a privilege to be there and witness Bolton’s next business generation.
