⚓ VOLUNTEERS WANTED – TRUSTEE SECRETARY ⚓

Help us keep our fantastic Sea Cadet Unit sailing!

Our Unit Management Team (UMT) is looking for a Trustee Secretary to join our friendly team of volunteers and help support the continued success of our unit.

We’re incredibly proud of what our cadets achieve, but behind every successful Sea Cadet unit is a dedicated team working hard to make it all happen. We need your help to keep that going!

📋 What does the role involve?

- Attending our UMT meetings, usually once a month.

- Taking minutes and keeping accurate records of meetings and decisions.

- Sharing meeting minutes and records on our administrative platform.

- Helping the committee stay organised and ensuring important actions are followed up.

🤝 Who are we looking for?

You don't need to have previous experience as a trustee or within Sea Cadets. If you're organised, reliable, comfortable taking notes and keen to make a difference in your local community, we'd love to hear from you!

Our meetings are a mixture of formal discussions and friendly conversation. There's plenty of opportunity to get to know the team, have a chat and enjoy a laugh along the way!

Why volunteer with us?

Sea Cadets is about giving young people opportunities, building confidence, developing life skills and helping them become the best they can be. By joining our committee, you'll be helping to make all of that possible.

Our unit is run by volunteers, and every contribution matters. This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference without needing to commit to weekly sessions or work directly with cadets.

📣 INTERESTED? OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE?

Please get in touch with our Chair at [email protected] for an informal chat and to find out more. There is absolutely no obligation to commit just by expressing an interest!

Please share this post to help us find the right person. You never know who in your network might be looking for a rewarding way to give something back to their community.

We're at Waitrose in Rickmansworth today raising funds for the Royal British Legion until 1600 today.

Why not come and say hi, buy a poppy, and drop your green token in our box? ⚓

Ok, so we're at an exciting stage of the refurbishment of the unit galley and improvements in general but we have hit a stumbling block. As many of you will know, we are moving to a new gas-fired heating system but unfortunately we cannot find an engineer who can sign off an LPG installation.

If anyone knows of such a person who would be willing to get involved then can you please send them my way?

Email the unit at [email protected] and I will get back to them ASAP.

This really will make a huge difference if we can have the new heating system in place before the unit Christmas weekend on board 🤞🤞

Thanks in advance,

Despite the awful weather, some of our cadets took part in the parade and did a fabulous job.
