The Cadets show the best of our young people and our community I was proud to lead a debate today championing Cadets and the adult volunteers who support them, making sure Government continues to back Cadet forces

The whole defence community is deeply saddened by the death of Field Marshal Lord Guthrie, Chief of the Defence Staff 1997-2001. We pay tribute to his dedicated service to our Armed Forces and the defence of our country. Our thoughts are with his friends & family at this time.

Camp photo arrived today, looks fantastic. Great service from start to finish from Tempest Photography . Thank you!

Take a bow Army Cadets UK. He’s one of yours and you taught him CPR.

Cadets from Dorset ACF took on Exercise Venturer Snowdon... climbing, scrambling, coasteering & more! An ACCT UK grant helped make it happen. One cadet said: “I overcame my fear of heights & discovered I’m more capable than I thought.” Full story here: acctuk.org/story/venturer…

It was great to welcome three new instructors to Dorset ACF yesterday. The beginning, of what I hope, will be a long and rewarding time with this great organisation. Army Cadets UK Dorset ACF
