The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) funds ICS – representing a significant investment by the UK Government in young people.
The FCDO projects the UK as a force for good in the world, including reducing poverty and tackling global challenges.

The UK Government has chosen to fund ICS because it believes in the power of young people to bring about positive change in some of the poorest communities around the world, and that by creating thousands of active citizens we can shape the future for the better.
