⚠️ UNIFORM AMNESTY ⚠️

If you’ve ever been a Sea cadet or an adult volunteer with us and still have uniform or parts of uniform, we would really like it back as soon as soon as possible please.

No questions will be asked and we understand sometimes these things slip down the priority list, especially in today’s busy climate, so nobody is in trouble!

However, uniform remains property of the Ministry of Defence, and is needed back so it can be reissued or disposed of if not suitable for reissue.

You can drop it into the Unit on Monday or Friday evenings between 7:00pm and 9:00pm. Simply hand it in to any member of staff on arrival - if you can pop the person’s name on a note inside the bag, we can cross them off our list.

Uniform is very important to us, so please help us by returning your old uniform.

Do you have enthusiasm and a passion for working with young people? Would you like the opportunity to help launch young people for life, whilst enhancing your skills and meeting new people? Basingstoke Sea Cadets would love to hear from you.
We provide a head start in life for young people through nautical adventure and fun. Our volunteers work, directly with young people and behind the scenes, to help make a positive difference. We are based in Winklebury and are currently looking for enthusiastic adult volunteers to join us.

We would love to expand our Unit Management Team (UMT) of trustees. If you aren't able to commit to a regular volunteering role, there are plenty of ways you can get involved and no commitment is too small. You could volunteer in roles such as Secretary or Fundraising, which are perfect if you are not able to be at the unit every week, or if you have a specialist skill you would like to share.

There are no specific requirements for joining us. Having the right attitude and a passion for improving the lives of young people are the most important things. If you are reliable, keen to learn new things and enjoy working as part of a team, please do contact us at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!
