The Newquay Sea Cadets are calling for enthusiastic volunteers to join their ranks and help make a significant difference in the lives of young people and their communities in the Restormel area, encompassing Newquay, Clays, St Austell, and surrounding regions. This opportunity is open to individuals over the age of 18 who are eager to contribute to a cause that nurtures the confidence and inspiration of youth through a variety of activities both at sea and on land.

Key Highlights:

• Diverse Volunteer Roles: There are numerous volunteer positions available, ranging from instructor roles in watersports, first-aid, catering, sport, navigation, and engineering to trustee positions for the newly established unit, including roles such as a chair, treasurer, secretary, and more. There are also opportunities for unit assistants to help with non-face-to-face tasks like vehicle maintenance and estate management.
