What We Do

The Army Cadet Force is a National Voluntary Youth Organisation sponsored by the Ministry of Defence (Army), but not part of the armed services, which provides challenging Military, Adventurous and Community Activities

- Our activities are governed by the Army Cadet Force Charter -

The overall aim is to inspire Young People to achieve success in life with a spirit of service to the Queen, their country and their local community and to develop in them the qualities required of a good Citizen.

We achieve this aim by:

Providing progressive Cadet Training often of a challenging and exciting nature, to foster confidence, self reliance, initiative, loyalty and a sense of service to other people.
Encouraging the development of personal powers of practical leadership and the ability to work successfully as a member of a Team.
Stimulating an interest in the Army, its achievements, skills and values.
Advising and preparing those considering a career in the Services or Reserve Forces.

The activities we have to offer are many and varied. Although most are linked to basic military skills and knowledge, a large number of activities exist to promote physical fitness, good citizenship, friendship, teamwork and community spirit.
