SWIMARATHON 2025

SWIMARATHON 2025

Our cadets and PO Hodgson participated in the Maidenhead Lions Swimarathon on 12th January. Super proud of them as they completed 65 lengths; which is higher than the previous year.

All raised funds go to great causes in Maidenhead and half of what we raise goes to our amazing unit to help us continue doing what we do best. Thank you to all who sponsored us for this event.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day

Cadets and Adult Volunteers from T.S. Iron Duke proudly took to the streets of Maidenhead for this year’s Remembrance parade, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with veterans, families, and local residents to honor those who gave their lives in service. In their smartest uniforms, the Cadets marched with precision and solemnity, showing deep respect for the occasion.

Officer In Charge, Sergeant Serena Wheeler, spoke highly of their efforts: “I am so proud of all the Cadets and Adult Volunteers for the enthusiasm, dedication, and passion they poured into preparing for this parade. Their hard work and commitment made today’s event a resounding success. BZ all!”

It was a fitting tribute, uniting generations in gratitude and remembrance.

RN Attract Team visit TS Iron Duke

What a great night the cadet’s had at the unit on Tuesday.

All our cadets had the chance to join in. And those who attended had fun with team building and stem exercise with the RN Attract Team.

They even got the chance to ask questions at the end of the night about their service, ships and other interesting questions.

Thank you very much to the team for your visit we hope to see you again in the future.
