Local Work & Fundraising
The Sea Cadet Corps is a National Charity which is funded by the Ministry of Defence (Royal Navy), but only for National Training Courses and Uniforms. It is upto the Units to raise funds to subsidise for everything else. To help with this Walsall Sea Cadets try to stay involved with the local community by offering their services from bag packing to marshalling local events.
We are always trying to find new ways to raise funds in order for us to Purchase new training aids and vital equipment for the cadets.
TS Vanguards Wish List
Band Equipment - Drums, Bugles & Glockenspeils
Sailing Dinghys - Laser Picos & Toppers
Mini Bus - 17 Seater
We always welcome new events to be involved with and any donations to the Unit are greatly appreciated. We also have the space to advertise companies & sponsorship on our current mini bus.
If you would like to help us out please contact us at tsvanguard@hotmail.co.uk
