Start Your Volunteer Journey Today!

Are you looking for a new challenge and a chance to gain experience and skills? 

Do you want to support young people and give them a better head start in life? 

If you said yes, then becoming a volunteer with us could be for you! 

We are currently looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our dedicated team and fill a variety of roles: - 

Instructors: Work directly with our Junior or Senior Cadets, helping them grow and learn through fun, structured activities. You can go into uniform or wear your own clothes - whatever you prefer! 

Trustees: If you're interested in supporting our unit but instructing is not for you, then you could join our team as a Trustee and work with the Unit Management Team (UMT) to manage the charity's finances, fundraising, marketing and much more!

Some specific vacancies within our Trustee Team are: - 

  • Vice Chairperson - work alongside our current Chairperson, with a view to taking over as Chair in the future, and assist them to maintain, develop and chair an effective Unit Management Team for the unit. 
  • Vice Treasurer – support our Treasurer to manage the unit's finances through keeping up to date and accurate records of income and expenditure.  
  • Vice Secretary – support our Secretary to take minutes at UMT meetings and email minutes, details and agendas to the Trustee team.
  • General Trustees – support all aspects of the UMT’s role; primarily to help manage a safe, effective and successful sea cadet unit.

If any of these opportunities sound like they are for you, then please do get in touch for more information.

Remembrance Parade 2022

Remembrance Parade 2022

Remembrance Sunday offers an opportunity to remember the service and sacifice of all those that have defended our freedoms.

Basingstoke Sea Cadets were extremely proud to again be part of the Basingstoke Parade and Remembrance Service along with a multitude of other cadets forces, veterans and service personnel.

Capped by a Chinook fly past by the RAF, the day was represented wonderfully by young and older alike.  Many people turned out in the fantastic weather to line the route and our cadets did us all proud.

A huge thank you to those cadets who manned the Poppy Selling stall in Fesitval place last weekend.  Lot's of Poppies were sold and your efforts and conduct did the unit proud.

Unit BBQ 2022

Unit BBQ 2022

On Friday the 22nd July the unit hosted an open evening and BBQ.

It was extremely well attended by parents, siblings, staff and cadets who all had opportunities to get some great insight in to what we get up to.  We hosted four different activity stands of Rowing, Sailing, Recreational and Teamwork & Seamanship which everyone seemed to enjoy and watching the parents and siblings getting hands on with boats and equipment was very rewarding.

The UMT did a fantastic job of providing and cooking all of the food and organising the tombola.

Aside from a bit of rain, it was a great evening enjoyed by all.
