16 08 2018 any news on permanenting 2016 npower program

A blast from the past!

The NPower program you're referring to is likely the NPower Social Enterprise Program, which was a UK-based program that aimed to provide young people with skills and experience in social entrepreneurship.

The program was launched in 2016 and was designed to support 10,000 young people over three years. The program was a partnership between NPower, a UK-based energy company, and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

As for news on permanenting the 2016 NPower program, I couldn't find any specific updates on the program's continuation or expansion. The program was initially designed to run for three years, and it's likely that the program has concluded or is in the process of wrapping up.

However, NPower has continued to support social entrepreneurship and youth development initiatives through other programs and partnerships. For example, in 2020, NPower launched the "NPower Foundation" to support young people in developing their skills and entrepreneurial spirit.

If you're interested in learning more about NPower's current initiatives or programs, I recommend visiting their website or contacting their customer service team directly.
