To continue to grow and provide the sea cadet experience, the organisation is seeking dedicated volunteers who are passionate about mentoring and guiding young individuals. Additionally, the Sea Cadets are also actively seeking funding opportunities to sustain their growth and expand their programmes.
To fully realise their potential, the group is in urgent need of new premises, including both a boat station and land-based facilities. The ideal location would be co-located on the waterfront, offering easy access to the water and providing an inspiring environment for learning and training.
For more information on how to get involved, volunteer, donate, or contribute to Plymouth Drake Sea Cadets’ growth and development, please contact the chair of trustees Arthur Ainslie on 07977047724.
