There are many rewarding aspects to this role, but few compare to the privilege of celebrating the successes and achievements of others. Well done SMI Steers.

This morning on BBC Radio 4 Today, Sir Charlie Mayfield called for bold action on youth mental health & worklessness. As a former Army officer, he knows the value of the Army Cadets UK. Here are my thoughts on the role the ACF play in addressing these issues. linkedin.com/pulse/role-arm…

No pretence this comes naturally, unlike my passion for the incredible societal impact delivered by our CFAV’s. A potent mix; Gov funding, Single Service sponsorship & the dedication of CFAV’s. The result? An experience unmatched in intensity, value & relevance - so how can I not

Arr Warcop to join HSYACF on Camp & greeted by Cdt RSM Charley Foster-Tomlinson being marched off camp. Tomorrow she turns 18 and must leave – seen off by the whole county. A true success story as she heads to start her medical degree & Army scholarship 👏 The Rifles

Range day at Warcop for ⁦HSYACF⁩ Cadets excelling, growing in confidence & enjoying the opportunity the ⁦Army Cadets UK⁩ provides. Behind every shot: training, STEM, human factors, MET, accepting responsibility and reward. Not just shooting — a lesson in life. 💪

It was great to see Simon take the stage of the HEY LSIP, connecting the defence family with construction, highlighting the culture, values, and skills service leavers, reservists, veterans, and cadets bring to any workplace.
