NEW DETACHMENT LOCATION!

Our Southport detachment officially have a new home 🫶🏼

The detachment has moved into the excellent facility of Greenbank High School, a move made possible through the leadership of Ms D Aspinall and the incredible support of executive headteacher Mr Ian Raikes.

During Last Thursdays open evening our cadets undertook a full familiarisation of the site guided by two former Greenbank students CDT Sgt Harris and CDT LCpl Davis.

This new location provides a solid and well positioned base for the detachment and gives us the opportunity of stability and growth going forward. Our partnership with Greenbank high school is one we hope will thrive for many years to come 💚

The detachment is now welcoming new cadets aged 12-17. Parade nights take place every Monday and Thursday 1900hrs - 2100Hrs
Why not pop down and see what the Army Cadets can offer you! 🙌🏼

This morning at Altcar Training Camp 8 of our cadets passed out from the week long Senior Cadet Instructor Cadre and 3 of our adult volunteer’s passed out from the week long Adult Basic Instructor Cadre Assessment.

Our Commandant, Colonel Paul Ennis said; “moments like these truly reinforce why I feel so proud to be part of this organisation. Our Adult Volunteers continue to give their time, energy, and commitment to developing young people often behind the scenes, but always making a lasting impact.

What continues to inspire me most, however, are the cadets themselves. Their enthusiasm, attention to detail, and commitment to high standards are remarkable. They embody strong values, a real desire to improve, and just as importantly the ability to enjoy themselves while working as part of a team.

I’d also like to extend my sincere thanks to the staff at Altcar Training Camp, the RFCA, the Army Cadet Training Team, and all the course CFAV instructors. Without their dedication and support, opportunities like these simply wouldn’t be possible.

Days like today are a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through dedication, leadership, and teamwork”.

Amazing work everyone well done 👏

In partnership with ACCT UK, Quick Mortgages have created a free financial advice guide for cadets, enabling any cadet to become confident in their spending, saving, and investing habits. Business Development Manager, Henry Wright, emphasises the importance of ensuring young people have access to information that will help them make informed financial choices.

“As proud Armed Forces Covenant signatories, we wanted to extend our support to the wider Armed Forces community. We also believe it’s important that young people have the opportunity to learn the basics of finance early on, so if we can play a small part in helping cadets better understand their financial future, we’re delighted to support the initiative.”
