During the summer holidays, Berkshire District Sea Cadets led a fantastic week in Weymouth, with Senior Cadets and staff from Newbury attending (see then all pictured below!) and helping to instruct throughout the week…

⚓ 248 boating hours completed across the week

🎓 28 qualifications achieved in total, from sailing to climbing 

🏅 2–3 qualifications per cadet, through their hard work and dedication

🌊 Aqua Park – a well-earned break (sort of!)

🌳 Mud Trail – more fun, more mud and questionable levels of cleanliness!

A huge thank you to all the volunteers, instructors, supporters and families who helped make the week possible. 

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 to manage the charity's finances, fundraising, marketing, building and much more!

We are also looking for volunteers who could help support our Instructor and Trustee teams with administrative tasks for a couple of hours per week/month as non uniformed Administrative Assistants. 

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

We also have spaces for more young people aged 9-18 to join our Unit and would love to hear from anyone who thinks they might enjoy the challenge and adventure that Sea Cadets offers!

We are delighted to announce that, as of the 1st June 2026, Sub-lieutenant (SCC) Jordan Povey RNR has officially taken the helm as Officer-in-Charge of Newbury Sea Cadet Unit.

For many at Newbury Sea Cadets, Jordan is a familiar face. His journey with the unit began as a 10-year-old Junior Cadet, and over the years he has demonstrated all the core values of the Sea Cadets.

Having progressed through the cadet experience himself, Jordan has spent the last eight years as an adult volunteer, giving up countless evenings, weekends and cups of tea!

Jordan’s energy, and enthusiasm has helped shape the experiences of hundreds of young people. Whether this is through supporting parade evenings, attending events, getting involved in courses or encouraging cadets to achieve their full potential, his dedication to the unit has never wavered.

Jordan always shows his enthusiasm, particularly when his response to anyone who asks him to do something is ‘Yeah I’ll do that’. This truly shows his commitment and courage by facing everything with a positive attitude.

His appointment as Officer-in-Charge is not only a recognition of his years of hard work and dedication, but also a proud reminder of what the Sea Cadet experience can achieve. From joining as a young cadet to now leading the very unit where his journey began, Jordan's story is one of commitment and growth.

We are excited for the future of Newbury Sea Cadets under his leadership and look forward to supporting him in this new role.

Please join us in congratulating Sub-Lieutenant (SCC) Jordan Povey RNR on his appointment as Officer-in-Charge of Newbury Sea Cadets and wishing him every success as he leads the unit into its next chapter.

BZ & Congratulations, Jordan!
