Cadets give young people purpose, confidence and a sense of duty - but most state schools still don’t have one. Coverage on pg3 of today's @thetimes of our call to double CCF units in state schools by the end of this parliament 👇

Great to see our Y10 @q3langley @CCFcadets working tonight on their @DofE Bronze progress and tracking ready for our expedition in July and as the DofE verifier it was my pleasure to also verify completed awards from tonight. @q3langley @pete___lee #changingthenarrative

Another busy week at @moor_end CCF. Sis Langfield, Eagleton & @VConway85 passed FAAW, I presented new SSI CSgt Byrne his @CCFcadets rank slide, pre-camp parental meeting… and an ice bucket dunking for PI Ashcroft & SI Eagleton #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek @HQNorth_ @ArmyCadetsUK

Our CCF cadets participated in a tactical field exercise at Longmoor, preparing for summer camp. This session aimed to boost their skills, confidence, resilience, and teamwork. Well done to everyone who took part. #ccf #weareEBA @ccfcadets

Proud to put on my CCF uniform today for “wear green” mental health awareness day. #CCF #CombinedCadetForce #Cadets #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MoorEnd @MrGuyScience @CCFcadets @moor_end

It’s #WearGreen day for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek at @moor_end. @CCFcadets is a fantastic personal development vehicle and having the opportunity for cadets and adults to talk and support each other is even more important than any activity. @CFHealthyMinds @RFCAYH @VConway85

Well done 🙌

Cadets from the @VCCcadets, @CCFcadets & @SeaCadetsUK stood proudly alongside HM The King and veterans at @wabbey to mark #VEDay80. From silence & wreaths to celebration & song — an unforgettable day honouring those who served. #WeWillRememberThem #WeWillNeverForget

Honoured to have been at the #VE80concert with the @aircadets from the @CCFcadets in @CERegionRAFAC to have thanked and, in the spirit of VE Day, partied alongside, our remaining WWII veterans 🫡 A fantastic experience for all involved. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
