Fundraising

As an independent charity, but part of the national Sea Cadets, your support is vital to us.

We rely on the goodwill of our local community and businesses for financial support.

Sea Cadets welcome donations, large or small which can help provide opportunities for our cadets. Your donation can go straight to our Unit or via our branch teams which support lots of Units in a particular region or area. Or you can become a member of the national charity from just £25 a year.

A donation can:

  • - £20 will pay for a life jacket
  • - £50 can help pay for the heating of a unit
  • - £100 will pay for a new set of oars for a pulling boat
  • - £250 will send a Sea Cadet on a week's trip on flagship TS Royalist
  • - £1000 will help make vital health and safety upgrades for a Unit
  • - £2500 will buy a new boat for a unit - which will have a useful life of at least 25 years, serving hundreds and hundreds of cadets.

We welcome larger Corporate donations too and if you would like to find out more about how you can fund the work of the charity nationally please visit: ms-sc.org

The Bideford and District Sea Cadet Parent Supporters Group organises and coordinates fundraising activities for the cadets throughout the year. Without fundraising the unit would not be able to continue running.  A percentage of the money raised goes towards the general running of the unit with the remainder being available for extra items such as sailing equipment, and fun activities such as Ten Pin bowling, the Christmas party and assisting towards the cost of Off Shore sailing.

We are always in need of volunteers to assist with our fundraising events.  The most dedicated cadets who regularly volunteer are rewarded for their commitment, but we also need adults - parents, grandparents, older siblings or family friends - to help supervise.  

Fundraising is a great way to meet the public, many of whom have a story to tell of their days in the sea cadets or armed forces, and it is great to hear them sing the praises of our cadets, particularly when one of them is your child!

We only ask for a couple of hours at each event, so please come along and join us. Letters are sent out prior to each event, it would be great to see you!
