Cadets from the Army Cadets, Combined Cadet Corps & Volunteer Cadet Corps have been given a once in a lifetime chance to send some of its cadets to Camp Troodos in Cyprus, October 2023. During this visit the Cadets will:

• Engage with the local Army Cadet Unit at Epi.

• Visit the Resident Infantry Battalion.

• Visit RAF Akrotiri and engage with elements from the 84 Sqn RAF.

• Cultural visits to local villages and historical sites

• Various AT (Adventurous Training) activities including scuba diving.

• Representing Army Cadet Forces overseas.

Unfortunately, this trip does come at a cost to the cadets and CFAVs, in particular the flights as we are a very low priority for the armed forces we cannot rely on military flights as we lose our flight to a higher priority at very short notice, meaning we have to use civilian flights.

We are therefore asking for donations to help fund this trip to allow young people from this area to go abroad and take part in the above listed activities, for some of the cadets who are going it is their first ever trip outside the UK. As a unit we are using funds from fundraising such as bag packs to assist these cadets however, that source of income is rapidly shrinking. So, any donation/sponsorship would be greatly appreciated.
