NAME OF ORGANISATION APPLYING FOR:

Maidstone Sea Cadet Corps

REASON FOR APPLYING:

I fully support its role in helping to equip the youngsters with the skills such as social and physical that they’ll need as they meet the challenges of the adult world.

The Cadets have at long last reached a milestone in their long history: they now have proper moorings (a new ramp installed down to the river edge, and canoes) which will be officially opened on 7^th July.  This marks a new future for them and I would like to be able to contribute in some way.

WHAT BENEFITS COULD YOU BRING TO THE ORGANISATION?:

As an experienced and active borough councillor and parish councillor I have effective

inter-personal skills

My keenness for clarity of understanding between residents and the services that MBC provides, has proved useful when communicating with the Sea Cadets Chairman and with their Officer In Charge

I continue to be the Armed Forces Champion for the Borough Council as part of the Civilian -Military Covenant, so there is synergy, and possibly opportunities to the advantage of the Sea Cadets.
