Well done to all our amazing cadets and adult volunteers who attended this years Sheffield Armed Forces Day.

On the 21st of June, members of ships company attended Sheffield's Armed Forces Day to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community including currently serving personnel to Service families, veterans and fellow cadet forces.

They had the opportunity to meet and chat with the new Sheffield Lord Mayor, Cllr Safiya Saeed, and Deputy Lord Lieutenant, Lt Colonel Mac McPherson MBE, after the parade. Some of them even hopped in a SYFR fire engine.

Another wonderful evening spent on the water yesterday and we were honored to have been joined by The Right Worshipful the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Cllr Jayne Dunn, for the evening. Lord Mayor Jayne Dunn 

As part of her final few days in office before her term is up, she wanted to experience what it was like to be a Sea Cadet for the evening and join her Mayoral Cadet, Able Cadet Plant, and the other cadets on the water. ⛵🌊  

It was great to have had so many cadets out on the water and to be able to share the experience with the Lord Mayor.

Yesterday, the ships company joined veterans, the Sheffield Lord Mayor and local dignitaries to commemorate the sinking of HMS Sheffield (D80) in the falklands conflict.

We payed tribute to the 20 sailors that lost their lives during the conflict in 2 services, one outside at the memorial and one inside the cathedral during the main service.

A special mention to Able Cadet Warman on delivering a reading in front of a full cathedral. This young man has come on leaps and bounds since joining us over 3 years ago and to be able to deliver such a well read piece is a great achievement.

Our Officer in Charge, CPO (SCC) Hammond-Kaye, commented saying “he was amazing and exemplary”. 

Thank you to all the cadets for a great turn out.

Last night we were back out on the water at our boating station with a total of 17 cadets on the water across 4 disciplines. 

Despite the lack of wind for the sailor and windsurfers, everyone had fun for the first 2 hours of the season.

This weekend has been another great one with our cadets taking part in the RBLI Great Tommy Sleep Out and helping out at the Sheffield Half Marathon.

Saturday night, despite the rain, we had 17 cadets camp out within the unit grounds to raise money for the RBLI Great Tommy Sleep Out and at the time of writing this post, they have managed to raise £720 for this great cause.

They support veterans who are experiencing homelessness to get back on their feet and find them warm, safe housing and assist them to gain employment.

If anyone would like to donate towards this great cause and congratulate the cadets on their participation, please use our donation page linked here
