Our juniors have been working hard on various topics and following some recent review of progress, we were able to recognise this through a number of presentations during our last presentation evening on July 6. 
Module badges were awarded for Core unit activities (Red), Waterbourne (Blue), Recreational and Outdoor (Green) and Community & Citizenship (Yellow). 
Most of our juniors also received awards for their recent STEM (Sceince Technology Engineering and Maths) activities and a number of juniors were also promoted. 
It is great to see the outcome of the hard work of the youngest members of the unit, and there will be lots more to come. 

The unit reopened its doors on July 6, unveiling a vibrant and newly decorated main deck. The revamped space creates an exciting atmosphere for cadets' training and activities. During the reopening ceremony, the unit also celebrated over the last year with some Annual Awards. Junior Cadet Ben received recognition as the Best Junior Cadet, Leading Cadet Rubi stood out as the Best Dressed, OC Izzie's community endeavors earned her praise, and AC Henry was honored as the Best Cadet, and the Staff Endeavor award went to PO Roper for ongoing and consistent commitement through recent change in the unit. The refuribishment marks a clear point in a new chapter for the unit, and we look forward to growth and success in the future.

Malvern Sea Cadets is a local charity based organisation that provides a variety of activities to young people across our community aged 10 - 18, and aims to help them achieve the best possible head start in life through both nautical and land based adventure, educational and fun.

We rely heavily upon the goodwill and commitment of all our volunteers, parents and other friends and supporters to operate, and currently have a wide range of areas where we could benefit from extra volunteer support.

Most of these roles will typically involve an hour or so of your time throughout each month, though some others may require a greater level of time commitment on either a regular or periodic basis. We will always aim to work with whatever time constraints exist for you, and if practical to do so, support online or home based working. We will however also encourage everyone to come along to the Unit or our events when they can, to be a part of our team and see first hand the benefits to our cadets and juniors as well as for all our volunteers.

Can you or others you know spare some time to help us? 

Do you or anyone you know have experience or knowledge in any of the areas detailed below?

If so, we would love to hear from you for an informal chat on what’s involved or simply to provide you with more information to make it easier for you to decide if you want to get involved!

Thank you and well done to all of our cadets for the effort that went into preparing for the Unit Review on Thursday evening.

Congratulations for all those that received presentations, including a 12 year award for our Unit Admin Officer and 6 year award for our Unit Chaplain.

Unit Review went well and the District Officer had a lot of positives to say about the unit, although some change does lay ahead as the Unit Review was the last parade night of our Commanding Officer - Lt Pam Holloway. The District Officer and former Malvern CO, LtCdr Barber, will act as an interim Commanding Officer until such a time where a new permanent CO can be officially appointed. 

The ships company extend their thanks to Lt Holloway for all of her effort and dedication to the role over the last 7 years.
