Devon Army Cadet Force is opening of a new Cadet Detachment in Millbay.
It is inviting local young people and their families to an open evening tomorrow on September 18 at 7pm at Millbay Army Reserve Centre in Prospect Place, Plymouth. This event offers a unique opportunity for young people and their families to learn first hand the benefits of joining the ACF and to experience some of the exciting activities and skills that it offers.
The new Millbay Detachment will provide young people aged 12 to 18 with a safe and supportive environment to develop their leadership, teamwork, and practical skills through military-themed activities. The ACF is dedicated to helping young people build confidence, resilience, and a sense of responsibility while making new friends and having fun.

“We are really excited to be opening a detachment in this area of Plymouth, offering opportunities for young people to learn some new and exciting life skills and formal qualifications if they wish to do so.
Our aim is to inspire young people to achieve their full potential in life, as well as giving them the chance to make a real difference to their community.”
