Thank you!

Thank you for helping young people across the UK to launch well in life.

Why does Sea Cadets help?

In a changing, often overwhelming world, too many struggling teenagers are getting lost in life. Feeling hopeless. Lonely. A failure already.

By supporting Sea Cadets, you can help young people to develop into resilient, confident young people, who don’t crumble when the unexpected happens.

You can help them launch well for life, whatever their background. And whatever they want to do when they leave school.

We have the skills to help a struggling teenager become someone who can talk to anyone. Shake anyone’s hand. Give new things a go even if it’s a bit scary. Organised. Responsible. A leader people want to follow.

Someone who can listen and do better at school. Go on to higher education. Find and keep a job.

With your support, we can give today’s teenagers hope, confidence and skills for today’s world.

‘I’ve seen so many kids come in so shy! We have one little kid who’s autistic who wouldn’t have looked me in the eye when he came, but that’s changed. It’s amazing how people settle in, it’s a big group of friends. If you’re rich or poor, if someone is too scared to do something, we’ll find another way for them to do it’
