📣Calling all Parents, Carers, and Friends of 2431 (Keighley) Squadron📣
Our Squadron relies on its Civilian Committee (CivCom), and with only two current members, we now urgently need more volunteers to keep the Committee running effectively. The Committee cannot continue in its current format - put simply there must be a Committee or there will be no Squadron.
What is the CivCon?
They are a volunteer group of parents and community members who acts as the Trustee body for the Squadron. They manage non-public funds, handle fundraising, and support Squadron activities.
The CivCom’s key responsibilities are:
💰To fund raise so that the Committee can then help fund trips, camps, and equipment.
🏦 To act as Trustees and assist the Treasurer to oversee the Squadron's bank accounts, grants, and assets.
✏️ To support the Officer Commanding the Squadron to ensure the best interests of the cadets are met.
Who can join?
✅Anyone who is the parent or carer for a child at the Squadron - no previous experience or specific skills are required.
✅ Former Cadets/Staff who want to give something back to the organisation without committing to attended parade nights.
✅ Interested community members who are willing to support the Squadrons goals and give a few hours a week.
Why we need you now?
We currently have only a Chair/Secretary and a Treasurer. We need at least three committee members to cover essential roles, plus additional volunteers to help with fundraising and other tasks. Your support will make a real difference to the opportunities we can offer our young people.
Time commitment
The time commitment is minimal. We meet in person only few times per year (during Squadron parade nights), with the rest of the communication handled through WhatsApp and email.
