MEMBERS of the Burnham and Highbridge Sea Cadets are appealing for people in the community to come forward and give some of their time as volunteers.

The chairman of the Burnham and Highbridge Sea Cadet Unit, Mike Jackson, is seeking people who have some spare time and would like to make a contribution by getting involved with the youth organisation by joining the Management Committee of the unit.

Mr Jackson told the Weekly News: “We are a successful unit that aims to help give young people the best possible head-start in life through nautical adventure and fun.

“Its young people are between 11 and 18 years old, and the unit currently has 32 cadets.

“The constitution of all Sea Cadets units requires a management committee whose responsibilities are health and safety, fundraising and finance, provision and maintenance of facilities, together with the general direction of the Unit and this is where I am looking for help.

“The unit is currently short of committee members and even some of the existing members will soon need to retire.”

If you would like to get involved or if you wish to find out more please contact Mike on 01934-732005.
