Newbury Sea Cadets Trustee Opportunity
Newbury Sea Cadets is currently looking for enthusiastic and dedicated Trustees to join its Unit Management Team (UMT).
What difference will you make?
Newbury is a long-established Sea Cadet Unit that has provided life-changing opportunities for many young people. We currently have about 30 cadets who come from all over Newbury and the surrounding areas.
By joining our Trustee team, you would play a vital role in enabling us to continue offering amazing opportunities to young people both on and off the water. You would also be part of an organisation that has a hugely positive impact on the lives of young people living in your local community.
Sea Cadets helps young people to change their lives and thrive. Without support from volunteers like you, our charity cannot provide the adventure, community, and opportunities that young people experience through the Sea Cadets, creating a supportive and affordable home away from home.
What are we looking for?
We are seeking Trustees who are keen to shape their own role and play a pivotal part in defining and securing the long-term future of our Charity.
