HMS Sheffield Parade 2025

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.

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

Sheffield Half Marathon and RBLI Sleep Out!

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

On Sunday, we had 11 cadets attending one of the water stations at the Sheffield Half Marathon. They had so much fun and loved working with the other volunteers and supporting the runners.
