02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Sea Cadets UK is the principal maritime charity for young people in the UK, and Clydebank is one of the 400+ Sea Cadet Units that comprise it. The charity's aim is to maximise life opportunities for young people. Using our nautical medium we do this through providing nautical adventure and qualifications. In addition we encourage young people to adhere to a set of values that comprise self-commitment, loyalty, teamwork, honesty and integrity. We also provide young people with a host of non-nautical qualifications, such as engineering, music and first aid, We involve them in competitions covering a range of sports and provide them with the opportunity for international travel and to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. We place an emphasis on the role that character plays in attainment, and the collective impact of all that we do is to fashion a confident, resilient young person with skills valuable to the community and with a will to contribute to it.
