⚓️ REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY PREPARATIONS ❤️🌺

This weekend, some of our cadets at Skelmersdale Sea Cadets — T.S. Rodney took part in training in preparation for Remembrance Sunday.

Here are some of our cadets who trained this weekend, learning, preparing and coming together ahead of this important occasion. ❤️

Remembrance is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served, honour those who gave their lives for our freedom, and ensure their bravery and dedication are never forgotten.

We’re incredibly proud of our cadets for their commitment, respect and hard work as they prepare to pay their respects. 🌺⚓️

We will remember them.

⚓️ NATIONAL CADETS WEEK — CELEBRATING OUR VOLUNTEERS 💙

Today, during National Cadets Week, we want to take a moment to recognise and say a huge THANK YOU to the incredible adult volunteers who give their time, knowledge, skills and dedication to Skelmersdale Sea Cadets. ⚓️💙

Our cadets simply wouldn’t be able to do everything they do without these amazing people behind them. From parade nights and training, to getting out on the water, learning new skills, gaining qualifications, taking part in activities and creating memories — our volunteers make so many of these opportunities possible. 🌊🧭

So today, we want to recognise the people who help make it all happen:

⚓️ PO Halliday — Commanding Officer
⚓️ PO Taubman — 1st Lieutenant
⚓️ PO Wilson — Instructor
⚓️ PO Fitzjohn — Training Officer
⚓️ Mr Barnacle — Chairman
⚓️ PO Taylor — Junior Instructor
⚓️ Mrs Wilson — Vice Chairperson

Every one of you brings something different to our unit, whether that’s leadership, training, organisation, support, encouragement or simply giving up your own time to be there for our cadets. 💙

You help our young people learn, grow in confidence, challenge themselves, make friends and discover what they’re capable of.

And so much of what you do happens behind the scenes — but today we want you to know that it doesn’t go unnoticed. ❤️

From all of us at Skelmersdale Sea Cadets, and especially from our cadets:

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. ⚓️💙

Our unit, and the opportunities we can give our cadets, simply wouldn’t be the same without you.
