Today, on World Mental Health Day, we're wrapping up Take ACCTion 2026.

We're celebrating the incredible effort our supporters have shown to raise awareness and vital funds.

To everyone who took part, volunteered and fundraised... THANK YOU!

Thank you for helping us provide cadets with wellness spaces and equipment, break down barriers and reduce mental health stigma for the next generation of leaders.

Your support means more life-changing opportunities and support for young people across the UK.

What does it mean to be part of the Army Cadets' community?

For young people, becoming a cadet can provide stability, inclusion, and opportunities to improve social mobility.
For adult volunteers, supporting cadets and sharing their skills and experience brings a sense of purpose that extends far beyond parade night.

Today, on Skills for Life Day, part of National Cadets Week, we celebrate the life skills developed by cadets and adult volunteers through their time in the Army Cadets. We also recognise the value they bring to employers through leadership, teamwork, resilience, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Thanks to our corporate partners, who, through partnering with ACCT UK, help to:
1. Fund ACCT UK's national grants programme, supporting local projects and initiatives
2. Provide career guidance, employability support, and mentoring for cadets and adult volunteers
3. Support events and projects that strengthen the Army Cadets' community

Today, we highlight the incredible first aid training cadets receive as part of the ACF syllabus. Training that ensures cadets are prepared for real-life scenarios and feel empowered to respond to those who need assistance.

ACCT UK is proud to support first aid within the ACF, ensuring every county has access to training kits and resources to develop skills that could one day save a life.

Behind every successful cadet, there's a dedicated Army Cadet Force adult volunteer making excellence possible.

As part of National Cadets Week, we're celebrating the adult volunteers who give their time, experience, and support to inspire and encourage young people in the ACF. As the official charity of cadets in the community, we want adult volunteers to know: we've got your back.

Whether it's helping out at local events, supporting remembrance activities, using their first aid skills, or volunteering in their communities, cadets make a difference every day.

Community support is at the heart of what Dyno-Rod and ACCT UK do too.

Together, this National Cadets' Week, we're celebrating the young people and incredible adult volunteers giving their time to help others.

Best of luck to former Black Watch Battalion ACF Cadet Sergeant Major Rubyann Held, who will take on a 165ft abseil from Scotland's iconic Forth Bridge to raise funds in support of ACCT UK.

Winner of the 2025 ACCT UK Excellence Award for Excellence in Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Rubyann shared why supporting ACCT UK matters to her:

"I strongly believe in saying yes to every opportunity. Setting myself challenges and completing them, despite obstacles I face, proves that I am capable of more. I want every young person to have that same feeling and opportunities that I was fortunate enough to have through the ACF."

Good luck, Rubyann, from everyone at ACCT UK!

Read her inspiring story on her Givestar page, or make a donation to help her reach her fundraising target ahead of the big day.

Introducing the newest ACCT UK Excellence Award, the Unsung Hero Award!

We've expanded the ACCT UK Excellence Award categories to introduce the 'Unsung Hero' award. This honour will recognise the cadets and adult volunteers who consistently encourage and support their peers, and regularly go the extra mile, but don't meet the criteria for our other Excellence Award categories.

Unsung Hero Excellence Award nominees will be judged on their long-term commitment to the ACF community, and the impact they have had within their detachments, companies, or counties.

Applications for the 2026 ACCT UK Excellence Awards are officially open and will close on Thursday 31 December 2026. Excellence Award winners will be honoured at a prestigious event in London in 2027.

Read the award criteria, discover more about our previous winners, or submit your nomination for any category via our website — more information in the comments.
