Six Sea Cadets have made the 30-person shortlist for the Duke of Westminster Award, a scheme which gives CVQO learners the opportunity to win a trip to South Africa. 

The CVQO Duke of Westminster Award is designed to find the best of the CVQO cadets across the UK. When looking through applications the Duke of Westminster Award panel look for 'selfless, determined individuals who always keep their heads up and remain positive through adversity; those who have overcome a personal challenge or gone the distance to help someone.'

It's an outstanding achievement to make the shortlist, well done to:

Cadet Hannah - Birmingham Sherbourne Sea Cadets

Cadet Olivia - T S Steadfast, Kingston and District Sea Cadets

Cadet Jake - Guildford Sea Cadets RMCD

Cadet Pearce - Stafford and Rugeley Sea Cadets (RMCD)

Cadet Tierney - York Sea Cadets

Cadet Heath Hornchurch & Upminster Sea Cadets

These six cadets will go through to a selection event in Somerset, to determine which cadets will win the trip to South Africa.
