Worthing Sea Cadets

The world moves so fast today, and the change can be exhilarating and life-opening, but also terrifying, especially for young people with less back-up at home. Opportunities are there, but standing out from everyone else chasing them means having the very things that makes meeting any sea cadet memorable, even at the young age of 15 or 16. Confidence. Composure. Resilience. Knowing how to listen, speak and present yourself in new situations. Leadership. Motivation. Organisation. Bounce. Sea Cadets can give so much to young people struggling. The widening gap between rich and poor is seeing huge numbers of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds being shut out of opportunities because they cost too much. And 1 in 5 teenagers are now experiencing mental health problems like anxiety and clinical depression.
