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

Current Fundraising Projects:

Each year it costs approximately £20,000 just to open our doors to the youth of Birmingham.

This does not include the cost of maintaining or refurbishing out unit facilities, nor does it include the cost of buying expensive new equipment such as boats or boating equipment for our young people to use.

At this time the unit is working hard to raise enough money to completely replace our heating and hot water system. Our current system is very unreliable and the costs of maintaining it and running it are very high. We would like to be able to replace this system with one that is much more energy efficient, helping us to save energy and help the environment, and also to helping us to save money. We need to raise approximately £10,000 in order to complete this urgent project.

Other projects that we need to raise money for over the next 12-18 months include:

- The complete refurbuishments of the Cadet Toilet and Shower facilities (£20,000)

- Replacement windows and doors for our Royals Marines Barracks (£2,000)

- New security alarm system and security cameras (£3,500)

If you would like to make a donation to the unit towards any of these project or could offer any other form of assistance, please contact a member of the Unit Management Committee on 0121 454 3136.
