Decision details

Mini Bus - We aim to purchase a minibus to enable the cadets to attend

events for the good of the community as well as internal training within

the aims of the Air Training Corps.

To provide funding of £1000 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

 As already referenced above, the bus will have a huge impact on the cadets at the

squadron. This will in turn lead to more new recruits coming through (word of mouth and social media) which means more proactive young people in the local community doing good and developing skills for life.

In a more direct sense this bus will allow us to attend community events with bigger numbers, such as remembrance, youth festival, step short and Armed Forces Day to mention just a few. In the last year we have also attended old people’s homes visiting ex RAF personnel on their birthday when they didn’t have any family as well as funerals of ex personnel at Hawkinge cemetery. This is something we’d like to do more often and with bigger numbers which the bus would allow.
