For any Sea Cadet Unit to run efficiently and give the best possible experience to our Cadets, it is not possible without all of our volunteers who give their time both on parade nights and also weekends to deliver training and obtain the necessary qualifications.
Our Uniformed and Civilian training staff ensure that Cadets receive the maximum in their training be it our specialist RYA and Paddle UK staff to those who deliver modular training throughout the rest of the year and led by our Commanding Officer. The Unit Management Team are a team of volunteer Trustees and ensure that we meet all of our governance and Health and Safety obligations. And Lastly the Parents and Supporters Association who tirelessly fundraise to ensure the equipment and additional needs of the unit are provided.
Thank you to each and every one of you for the fantastic jobs that you do
