South West Region RAFAC

It’s been a long and challenging week but very rewarding. Senior Cadets from across SW came together to learn about Advanced Leadership Theory and how to be Leadership Instructors. Very proud of what everyone achieved #futureleaders @ComdtAC @aircadets @SWRegionRAFAC

Your mission is to name UK Space Command HQ! We’re inviting cadet units across the country, be it the @SeaCadetsUK, @ArmyCadetsUK, @aircadets, or @CCFcadets, to name our new headquarters. The closing date for nominations is Friday 17 December 2021: sea-cadets.org/uk-space-comma…

Today is @YoungMindsUK's #HelloYellow campaign to show young people they're not alone with their mental health. Get involved: 🟡 Wear any item of yellow clothing 📸 Share on social media, use the hashtag & tag YM (and us!) 💷 Make a donation to YM here: youngminds.org.uk/support-us/don…

We’ve appointment our first ever volunteer Gp Capt to serve as a Senior Volunteer Advisor. Gp Capt Andy Pass MBE will take up the role reporting to @ComdtAC to ensure that the volunteer perspective is represented in policy areas and influence the RAFAC Senior Leadership Team.

Awesome to see @aircadets from across @aircadetslaser and @SWRegionRAFAC getting airborne at @622VGS today. It’s felt like we’ve not done much for a while but aviation is very much back! ✈️

Independent report celebrates the positive impact of the Cadet Forces – improving educational outcomes and mental and physical wellbeing as well as enhancing their employability and increasing their social mobility. #WhatWeDo #ReachingForTheStars @ComdtAC @StnCdrRAFOdiham

The Cadet Force Adult Volunteers gain significant social and personal benefits from participation, alongside undertaking nationally recognised training. This not only helps them in their cadet role, but can also improve their earning potential.#NoOrdinaryVolunteer@ChiefofAirStaff

In our 80th year, we are looking at 80 people who are doing remarkable things. Today we are featuring Flt Lt Graham Dodds, the Regional Media Officer for SNI. Graham has been awarded many honours but has recently been a kidney donor for a 9 year old boy. Full story on Facebook.

Our tip to #ConnectWithNature on day 1 of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is to spend an hour in the garden and take a 📸 of your surroundings. Don't forget to tag us in all of your wonderful garden photos!

Today saw the Cadet First Aid Instructor Course assemble (remotely) to continue working towards the Method Of Instruction Qualification. Cadets from across South West Region will spend the weekend delivering First Aid related sessions to other members of the course.
