Sefton Sea Cadets is a youth charity based in Field Lane, Litherland. The Unit trains, mentors and supports over 70 young people an enables them to access outdoor education, vocational qualifications, be part of a team and learn key life skills such as leadership, teamwork and citizenship. With a large Unit, they rely heavily on their minibuses to enable the transportation of Cadets to activities, training and trips.

Sometime between 2pm on Sunday 7th March and 10am on Monday 8th March, the Unit HQ in Field Lane was broken into, causing damage to the security gates. Once inside the compound, thieves have broken into the minibus, removed the ignition to start the engine and have stolen the bus.

This bus was purchased through charitable donations and from the Cadets bag packing and fundraising. The theft of this bus will mean that a lot of our young people, who are looking forward to getting back to the Unit and seeing their friends, will not be able to take part in any training opportunities requiring travel.

Sefton Sea Cadets, in L21, is a vital and vibrant part of the community and we would appeal to anyone who has information about the whereabouts of the bus, or would like to make a donation, to please engage with us on Social Media:
