Where Your Money Goes
The primary aim of our fundraising activities is to finance the running costs of our Sea Cadet Unit. These include Council Tax, the heating and maintenance of our headquarters building, the provision and maintenance of equipment required for cadet training, especially boats, and a substantial amount for full insurance cover.
During the past five years, we have significantly improved the quality of our sailing fleet, in particular with the help of two grants from Awards for All. This has enabled us to keep the interest of the older cadets and has enabled them to acquire advanced skills.
Our main project now is to extend our building by erecting a new boat shed, enlarging the main deck and improving the galley and toilets. It is estimated that this project will cost over £40,000.
We raise funds through such activities as Gift Aid, an annual street collection, bag packs at a local supermarket and having stalls at charity bazaars. We are supported by local organisations, including Buxton Round Table and the High Peak Mayoral Charities fund. Our new national Internet Web Directory will directly help our business friends and supporters, while providing us with additional revenue.
