Big thank you to all those who have supported us 🥰

National Cadet Week – Helping Sea Cadets provide skills for life

This National Cadet Week, we thank all the corporate partners and employers who are helping Sea Cadets to give young people skills for life.

Whether supplying food and water for cadet events and activities or providing support for our offshore fleet and boat stations, our charity could not provide the incredible experiences we offer without your contributions.

Employers also have a crucial role to play, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant (with its commitment to supporting cadet groups) and giving employees additional leave to carry out community youth work as Cadet Force Adult Volunteers.

Marine Society & Sea Cadets are calling for five days of statutory volunteering leave for each employee – so that even more people can volunteer to support cadets across the UK. We therefore salute those who are already going above and beyond, such as Cummins – who give Cadet Force Adult Volunteers 10 days of additional leave.

Read here about how Cummins supported one Teesside District volunteer and provided the facilities that allowed to become our newest affiliated unit in July:

Cards, Cakes and 3 cheers as TS Cardiff Cadets celebrate their amazing Staff during National Cadet Week!!



Leading Cadet Whitehead said, ‘It been great to thank our Staff for all their amazing work. Cadets is great fun and the opportunities I’ve had are fantastic, but this wouldn’t happen without the hardworking Staff who give up their time for us. It’s been great to thank them and recognise all that they do to make TS Cardiff so amazing. Diolch.’

CO Lt Hunt said, ‘I was so surprised that the cadets had organised a Thank You party to thank my staff for their hard work and dedication to TS Cardiff. It’s such a privilege to support the cadets and provide them with exciting opportunities that help shape them. Seeing them grow into confident, respectful, engaging young people makes my role so rewarding. My time in the SCC has been fantastic and if any adults are interested in volunteering to support TS Cardiff I would highly recommend it.’

Cadet O’Sullivan who joined TS Cardiff just 6 months ago said, ‘My favourite thing about cadets is drill and making friends. The Staff are so kind and helpful it’s nice to thank them. I would recommend joining cadets to any one, it’s fun and you learn loads.’

⛑️ Today we're highlighting one of the valuable life skills our cadets learn: First Aid.

The ability to respond in an emergency can make a real difference and is just one example of how cadets gain practical skills, confidence and responsibility.

Skills learnt today. Confidence for tomorrow.
