Adult Volunteers
Calling all adults!
We greatly value our adult volunteers, without whom the organisation could not function, and support and train them, whatever their previous experience and skills.
There are opportunities for both teaching the Cadets in the enormous variety of subjects that we offer, and also supporting their activities via The Unit Management Committee and The Parents and Supporters Association.

Unit Management Committee
Like all Sea Cadet Units, T.S. Swiftsure is a registered charity and needs volunteers to help us with the day to day running, control and management of the administration and finances and overseeing fundraising including applications for grants from varied sources.
These volunteers form the Unit Management Committee and are Trustees for the Charity. This demanding but rewarding role is particularly suited to people with professional expertise and those with knowledge of charities and fund raising.
The UMC has an important role to play in the success of the unit by providing their skills and knowledge in fundraising and management to help us develop our cadets into responsible young adults. The UMC will usually meet once a month at the Unit.
If you are able to share these vital skills and wish to give us some of your valuable time, then contact us at the unit on:-

Parents and Friends Association
The Unit also has a Parents and Friends Association, who support the Unit and it's Management Committee in many different ways.
The P&FA are formed of likeminded people who give as much time as they can spare to help the Unit in it's aim of developing young people into responsible and helpful members of the community.
As serious as that sounds, P&FA members involve themselves in such roles as making tea and coffee at events, running the cadet nutty bar, driving the unit minibus to trips out and minor decorating around the HQ Building.
If you have a skill or just some time to spare, we can use it in ways you could never have imagined before and give you the satisfaction of helping our young people.
We always need new members of the Parents and Friends Association so if you would like to help our Unit in any way

Chaplains
Chaplains, appointed from Clergy, Lay Readers and others with an Authorised Ministry, work with the Unit to provide moral, spiritual, pastoral guidance and leadership in support of the Cadets and Volunteers alike.
A variety of training is available to all Chaplains, which will give confidence by covering topics that are useful in everyday ministry, as well as any of the roles they may feel able to undertake in the service of their Unit.
Chaplains are expected to serve all faith communities, and followers of any faith or creed are welcome to approach the Unit Chaplain with the assurance that their beliefs will be respected.
Many Units have Chaplains, who are supported and overseen by the Corps Chaplain, Staff Chaplain and Area Chaplains. For more information go to: www.sccheadquarters.com/chaplains
