The Harrogate and District Sea Cadets are part of the wider Sea Cadets national youth charity. Our cadets are aged between 10-17 years. Our primary goal is to empower young individuals by instilling in them resilience, self-belief, and social confidence. Through a variety of activities both on and off the water, we provide a hands-on learning experience rooted in the time-honoured customs and traditions of the Royal Navy and provide a secure, supportive environment for young people to take risks and challenge themselves.
We have recently embarked on this fundraising campaign aimed at securing the necessary funds for significant upgrades to our aging Unit in Harrogate, which is in need of greater space, insulation, and refurbishment. These comprise:
- Converting the existing boat shed into robust building and partitioning into three sections: store, marine engineering workshop and new galley.
- Moving the galley from existing location into new conversion and converting old area into two separate classrooms
- Converting the existing Heads (toilet) area to include provision for gender neutral toilets and a new, spacious accessible wet room.
These Unit upgrades would bring immense benefits to our current and future cadets and volunteers. Not only would members of our own Unit benefit, but also those from across the North district, including Units in nearby West Yorkshire, extending the impact to over 300 individuals solely within the Sea Cadets, based on current figures. However, we anticipate these enhancements will benefit thousands of individuals in years to come.
Additional classrooms and expanded galley space will significantly enhance our instructors' ability to conduct a broader range of activities with cadets. The introduction of a marine engineering workshop will offer invaluable opportunities to develop specialised skills, encompassing the proper use and maintenance of hand tools, machinery operation and welding. Additionally, the workshop will provide instruction in maintenance and assembly techniques, as well as electrical and electronic practices.
Revitalising our Heads area, including the addition of gender-neutral spaces and an upgraded accessible wet room, will modernise our facilities, ensuring their suitability for future generations.
