Story

Thank you for visiting my just giving page for the Sea Cadets.

Over the next 12 weeks I will be climbing stairs, running and cycling to a total elevation of 8848m ( the height of Mount Everest).

As many of you will know, I have been a sea cadet for the last 3 years and am proud to be a member of my local unit within Royal Wootton Bassett. 

In previous years, the Sea Cadets have provided me with so many wonderful opportunities to develop and grow as a young person, including lots of boating and both bronze and sliver DofE.

Regrettably, since March 2020 our unit has been forced to close resulting in a huge loss of revenue. Nonetheless the leaders have continued to support and encourage young people to be the very best they can be; to be active members within their local community.

Sea Cadets is the UK’s largest maritime youth charity, established in 1856 and working in over 400 units with 14,000 cadets aged between 10 and 18. Cadets learn life skills like leadership and team working through nautical adventure activities, and can earn extra qualifications which give youngsters a head start.
