!!SHARE YOUR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS WITH WHITLEY BAY SEA CADETS!!
Whitley Bay Sea Cadets needs volunteers with practical business experience to help with the management of the unit.
Whitley Bay Sea Cadets has many roles to match your profession, such as managing finances and budgets, fundraising for the unit, organising events, writing press releases for local media, and building corporate relationships with local businesses.
The unit’s Chair, MR M Ross, said: “We need adults to share their professional skills and experience in the Sea Cadet unit to help us thrive in the local community. You can help give the unit direction, identifying what it needs to make it an enjoyable experience for young people.
“We are an independent charity that relies on volunteers in the local community to help make a positive difference to the lives of so many young people in your area.”
Volunteers are supported by a network of other volunteers and employees. As a new volunteer, you will receive an induction, training and support to help you feel comfortable in your role. We are always there to provide ongoing help and support.
Whitley Bay Sea Cadets opened in June 1943 in Monkseaton. It has supported thousands of young people in North Tyneside to learn nautical skills, with Fifty cadets currently attending, supported by 10 volunteers. However, more are always welcome.
Whitley Bay is part of the national charity Sea Cadets, which gives young people a new perspective. We broaden horizons and create possibilities. Working across the UK with 14,000 young people between 10 and 18, we help them see the world with confidence, gained through the challenge of nautical adventure and a Royal Navy ethos. Our aim is to help more young people to see the future that they want – and make that future happen.
The unit is open Wednesdays and Fridays from 7 pm till 9 pm, and meets at Whitley Bay Sea Cadets, Fairways, Monkseaton, NE25 8TP. Visit: www.sea-cadets.org/whitleybay to find out how you can join.
