Cadets & Youth

How we support Cadets in the East Midlands.

One of our key roles is to champion, support and enable the thousands of Cadets within our region, ensuring they have safe places and equipment for their training.

As well as raising awareness and engagement, we make sure that young people joining the Cadets have access to the very best training, facilities and staff.

Working closely with the Ministry of Defence, we deliver national policy at a local level and ensure our regional teams meet the high standards expected of the Cadet Forces.

Our support comes in a variety of forms…

Estates

We provide key estates management services for sites used by all the Cadet Forces, but predominantly the Combined Cadet Force, Army Cadets and Air Cadets.

New facilities

We are responsible for overseeing transformative new estates projects, such as the new multi-million pound Cadet Training Centre at Beckingham Camp in Lincolnshire.

Admin and logistics

From organising uniforms to ensuring the right equipment is in the right place at the right time, our Professional Support Staff are an indispensable cog in the Army Cadet Force‘s success.

Recruitment

Our Cadet Forces would not be able to run without the support of our Adult Volunteers. Across the region, there are approximately 1,600 volunteers, all of whom willingly commit their spare time to make the Cadet experience possible. We provide individual units with hands-on support to help them recruit the very best.

Schools’ engagement

We oversee the Government’s Schools Cadet Engagement Programme in the East Midlands. Our Schools Cadet Engagement Officer provides Combined Cadet Forces with the advice, practical support, guidance and encouragement necessary to grow their Cadet units.
