As a rural squadron in the heart of Mid Wales we are part of a wider a uniformed Youth Organisation providing a variety of activities for young people aged between 12 and 20. We are based in Llandrindod Wells and cadets come from the surrounding area. Our activities include Adventure training, Flying and Gliding, Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, STEM subjects, Target Shooting, Radio, First Aid and Sports. We encourage the development of Leadership within a structured programme.
Many of our activities especially flying and gliding, adventure training, fieldcraft and sports take place away from our HQ and we need a minibus to transport the cadets to these activities and events. Without the use of a bus cadets would not be able to enjoy these activities and their development and progress within our programme would be severely restricted. Our present bus is on its last wheels and feeling the strain of its age. We are fundraising to replace the bus. This is a major undertaking for our group so any donation would go towards this replacement bus.
We are making good progress with the fundraising and now have a reasonable amount which should encourage grant founders to support us. If you are able to add to the pot we would be very grateful.
