Castleford Sea Cadets Supporting the 2025 Poppy Appeal

UPDATE: £535.91 raised by the Sea Cadets

A massive well done to all our incredible cadets and adult volunteers who were out today raising funds for the 2025 Poppy Appeal. Your dedication, energy, and teamwork truly shone through — and the feedback has been phenomenal!

We’ve had so many lovely comments from the public, especially about how polite and respectful our cadets are. That’s a real credit to the culture we’ve built at our unit — it’s something we’re proud of every day.

Also, a huge shoutout to #krispykreme - Hollie and Lucia for keeping us fuelled with the good stuff to power through the day — absolute legends!

Exciting News from Castleford Sea Cadets!

We’re thrilled to welcome everyone to our brand-new Seamanship Room! This space marks a fantastic step forward in our training environment, offering cadets a dedicated area to develop their skills and confidence on their Sea Cadet journey.

A huge thank you to all our incredible staff and Unit Management Team (UMT) who have worked tirelessly to bring this project to life. Your commitment and teamwork have made this possible, and we’re so proud of what’s been achieved.

With just a few finishing touches left to go, the room will be fully complete in the coming days — and we can’t wait to see it in action!

Bravo Zulu to everyone involved!

Today we were down at Crownpoint in Leeds for a fundraising day, and what a superb time we had!

A big thank you to all our cadets, parents, and volunteers who gave up their time to support – your efforts really made the day a success.

We even managed to dodge most of the rain (certainly less rain than yesterday, haha!) which kept spirits high throughout.

Today we attended Three Lane Ends Primary School for their Open Day and met with lots of young people who showed real interest in the Sea Cadets. Hopefully, we’ll be welcoming some of them to join our unit in the near future!

If you want to get involved – or know someone who does – drop us a message and we can help you start your Sea Cadet journey today.

What a weekend at Sea Cadet Filey Unit

Two full-on days of adventure and our instructors are more than ready for their beds tonight! One group smashed through some mountain bike training, while group two took to the water for a sailing session on the ever-beautiful Filey Bay

Our very own Able Cadet turned out to be a dab hand in the galley, serving up some top rate scran to keep everyone fuelled up

A big shoutout as well to our PTI Instructor who led the cadets through joint mobility, stretches, and a round of daily exercise on Saturday morning – keeping everyone sharp and injury free

*We are now on the way back and should be at the unit approx 16:50h*

A massive thank you to Filey Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets for hosting us, and to all the adult volunteers who gave their time, support, and skills to help our cadets grow over the weekend
