CADETS HELPING THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES
by Sgt Mary Hood
Cadets from across the county have recently contributed to their local communities as part of the Army Cadet Force Community Week initiative.
Cadets from Spen Valley Detachment gathered together their unwanted clothes to donate to ‘Off the Streets’ (Dewsbury, Wakefield and surrounding areas), a community group which helps and supports the homeless, elderly and vulnerable in the locality. A representative from the group, Jan Spooner, came along to the Detachment and was delighted to collect five large sacks full of clothes from the cadets.
Meanwhile elsewhere in the County cadets from Pontefract and South Elmsall Detachments supported AGE UK by spending a day collecting and bag packing for them in their local Tesco Supermarket. AGE UK were very grateful for their support and delighted that the cadets had helped raise over £540 for them.
Well done to all the cadets who have taken part and thank you to all the Adult Volunteers who supported you.
