We are Sandwell Sea Cadets and part of the UK's largest maritime youth charity.

Whether at sea or on land, the Sea Cadets offers young people across the UK amazing opportunities for personal development - by learning new skills and working in teams - we offer an environment where young people find new confidence and inspiration. Established in 1856 the Sea Cadets was created by communities wanting to give young people instruction on a naval theme. Traditionally old seafarers provided training while local businessmen funded the unit building. Today, 14,000 young people based in 400 units in towns, cities and ports across the UK are challenging themselves and developing new skills, like sailing, boating and rock climbing - supported by 9,000 volunteers.

A massive thank you to Tesco Spring Hill for once again supporting us this Halloween with a generous donation of pumpkins for our cadets to enjoy and get creative with.

Kind donations such as these demonstrate the fantastic support we continue to receive from our local businesses and the wider community.

The strength of these partnerships enables us to provide engaging activities and valuable experiences for our cadets, and for that we are extremely grateful.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone at Tesco Spring Hill for their continued support and generosity. Your contribution is greatly appreciated and will help make this year's Halloween activities even more enjoyable for our cadets.

⚓️ I WAS A CADET… NOW I AM…

Ahead of National Cadets Week (5–11 October), Training Ship Albion – Sandwell Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets want to hear from our amazing cadet alumni! 🎖️

Whether you were a Sea Cadet or Royal Marines Cadet, your time in uniform was about so much more than parade nights.

It was about confidence, leadership, teamwork, discipline, friendships, experiences and opportunities that could stay with you for life. ⚓️💪

Now we want to know…

👉 “I was a cadet, now I am…”

A teacher? 👩‍🏫
An engineer? 👷
A member of the Armed Forces? 🎖️
A business owner? 💼
A parent? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
A volunteer? 🤝
A CEO? 🚀
Or something completely different?

Wherever life has taken you, we want to hear your story!

📸 Tell us in the comments:
“I was a cadet, now I am…”

And if you have them, share a photo from your cadet days too! 📷

Your story could inspire the next generation of cadets at T.S. Albion and show them just how far their cadet journey could take them.

⚓️ Once a cadet, always part of the family. ❤️
