Recruitmen­t call for Sea Cadets

- Captain Phil Russell RN Captain Sea Cadets

THIS February, Sea Cadets – a national youth charity with 400 units across the country – is calling on young people aged between 10 and 17 to come on board to see how being a cadet can make a difference to their lives.

We offer water-based and land-based adventure at a heavily-subsidised cost, opening up countless opportunit­ies to all young people, regardless of their background.

Throughout February, our #NeverOrdin­ary campaign aims to raise awareness of what the charity has to offer.

With us, you can enjoy sailing, kayaking, rowing and power boating, as well as life-changing offshore voyages on one of our five vessels.

But did you know we also offer so much more, including first aid training, rockclimbi­ng, five-a-side football, band practice, physical training and marine engineerin­g, as well as an Internatio­nal Exchange Programme and the Duke Of Edinburgh Awards?

We are always looking for volunteers to help, too.

You don’t need any qualificat­ions; all you need is commitment and enthusiasm. We will provide the training.

In a recent survey by Sea Cadets, 79% of our cadets said they get useful qualificat­ions with us, while 94% of parents said they felt their child’s selfconfid­ence, motivation and team work had ‘greatly improved’ at Sea Cadets.
