National Children Competition CIC is a highly successful Community Interest Company (CIC) proudly run by a team of dedicated volunteers who share a passion for nurturing the next generation. Guided by our motto, “Building Confidence in Growing Children,” we provide structured, encouraging, and inspiring opportunities that allow children to discover their potential and grow into confident individuals.

For more than 15 years, we have been delivering well-organised, age-appropriate competitions that focus on both stage performance–oriented activities and written skills–based competitions. Through these programmes, over 4,000 children across the United Kingdom have directly benefited, gaining confidence, communication skills, creativity, and the courage to express themselves in public settings. We are extremely proud and genuinely happy with the positive impact our work continues to have on children, families, and communities.

Our competitions are carefully designed in progressive stages. Children first participate in regional competitions held within their local communities — including Bolton, Newcastle, Gloucester, Leicester, Harrow, Kingsbury, Luton, Milton Keynes, Slough, Hounslow, Crawley, South London, and East London. This localised approach creates a supportive environment where participants can build confidence step by step. Regional winners then advance to a prestigious central national final, where they compete on a larger platform and National Champions are recognised and celebrated.

The success of our model is clearly visible. Children who take part in our programmes consistently demonstrate confidence, resilience, and stage presence wherever they go. Having experienced structured competitions and supportive audiences, they are no longer hesitant to face larger crowds or new challenges, enabling them to excel in educational, cultural, and community settings.

As a forward-thinking organisation, we continuously review, evolve, and update our programmes to meet the needs of newer generations. We actively incorporate modern approaches and the latest technology into our competitions, ensuring children develop skills relevant to today’s digital world while maintaining strong cultural, creative, and educational values.

Being a 100% volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation, our success is driven purely by community spirit and dedication. Every initiative we undertake reflects our commitment to inclusion, fairness, innovation, and the personal development of children. We remain deeply motivated by the achievements of our participants and excited to continue expanding opportunities that inspire confidence, creativity, and lifelong learning among young people across the UK.

Children are our future. Joy of our eyes. In our efforts to lay a strong foundation to build a just and balanced society we try to bring hidden young talent to the wider British society and help them to get a better platform to develop further.

All our competitions are aimed to promote highly valued skills among the children, which leads the kids to think “outside the box” and to motivate outstanding presentation skills in both written and verbally.

We are trying to achieve this via continuously refining competitions. All our competitions are designed to monitor not only their subject level expertise but also to identify the way of presentation. Alhamdulillah, we are witnessing the improvements among them.

Little History:

The NCC, rooted in humble beginnings, has flourished in to an annual event which now attracts participants from across the country. The competition comprises of judging skillful Quranic recitation, melodious poetry recitals and creative essay writing. It also harbours an oratory competition, for the innate and aspirational public speakers, and a TV broadcasting competition to tease out the journalists in our midst. But of these, the Young Muslim Talent competition appears to be a particular favourite among its participants and spectators; opening up a platform for young people to showcase their individuality and tact. This year’s competition, which took shape at the University of Bedfordshire, saw contributions varying from sugar paste sculpting to stand up comedy to solving a rubik’s cube in record time!

NCC UK’s belief in the importance of shaping productive, confident and competent individuals is certainly reflective in the diversity of their competition agenda.

Following quite a momentous competition, the final awarding ceremony took place at Barnfield South Academy. Enthusiastic young ladies and gentlemen, rather refreshingly, hosted the event. And to revive the occasionally bushed audience, entertainment was oft provided. Amongst other honourable guests, the occasion was met by Mr Kelvin Hopkins, Luton North MP, and Dr. Ahmed Makhdoom, director at World Muslim League’s London Office. This successful commemoration of young spirit was topped of with the launch of ‘Aplomb’. A magazine detailing information about the NCC, ornamented with essays written by flourishing young writers.

All in all, NCC’s final awarding ceremony echoed that in their efforts to empower the youth of today, NCC UK continues to be a promising platform

Come and support us. Lets empower our children together. Lets Build the Confidence in Growing Children.
