📆 CORPS BIRTHDAY! 📆

🇬🇧 Poppy Appeal 2026 🇬🇧

Today, the young people of Preston Sea Cadets were proud to support the Royal British Legion by helping to sell poppies in our local community. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who stopped to donate, share a kind word, or support this important cause. Every poppy sold helps the Royal British Legion continue its vital work supporting serving personnel, veterans, and their families.

We are incredibly proud of our cadets for representing the unit with professionalism, confidence, and respect while remembering those who have served and sacrificed.

⚓ A change of command at TS Galloway ⚓

Tonight, CSgt Ashton handed over command of Preston Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets to PO Ward.

CSgt Ashton took on the role of Interim Officer in Charge in April, providing leadership and support through a period of change. We thank him for his hard work, dedication and commitment to our cadets and volunteers, helping the unit move forward with confidence.

As PO Ward takes the helm, we look forward to building on that progress and continuing to give our cadets opportunities to learn, develop and achieve.
