About
We help equip teenagers with all the things they need to cope with and enjoy the big and changing world they're going into.
What we do
Young people get new ways of thinking and acting from the kind of adventures they have at Sea Cadets. Like power boating, learning how to save a life, sailing a tall ship, catering for a crew, event meteorology and engineering.

How we're funded
We’re a charity, and rely on donations and gifts in wills, grants and corporate support to subsidise our funding from the Royal Navy to ensure no child loses out because their family can’t afford it.
