440 (1st Manx) Mini Bus Fund
Young People
We require a new mini bus to assist in the transportation of cadets both to Squadron base and off island.
About this cause
The squadron is a local youth organisation of Air Force cadets. We encourage the development of young people between the ages of 12-20 through Air Force cadet training, Duke of Edinburgh awards and also BTEC related qualifications. The cadets also support the local community as standard bearers for events such as Tynwald Day, Rememberance Day and Armed Forces Day, etc. We are an Excepted charity.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We currently have cadets all over the island, the mini bus is required to bring them into Douglas, to attend parade nights and also attend events around the island. We also travel off island to take part in sports and Wing events such as ground training and flying, we have recently taken a group to the Lake District to complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Expedition.
