Decision details

Folkestone and Hythe Sea and Royal Marine Cadets

Decision Maker: Ward Member for Cheriton (3)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

New lighting system - Cost saving exercise to aid our Charities longevity by replacing old lights with a new efficient LED lighting system throughout the building

 

Decision:

To provide funding of £600 to the above project.

 

 

Reason for decision:

At our unit, we have 53 cadets (aged 9-18) with 21 adult volunteers, who (during

normal operations) attend the unit twice a week, and then at weekends we take the

cadets away on training weekends. This is hugely beneficial for those young cadets in helping them grow as individuals. Historically, we have had a number of cadets

continue their careers by joining the Royal Navy, all citing the benefits that Sea and

Royal Marine Cadets bring to making their naval careers a reality. As a Charity, we

also make sure we are prominent in all Folkestone events including Armed Forces

Day, Hythe Venetian Fete, and Remembrance Events, to name but a few.
