Samantha Thompson - Chairperson of St Helens...

On Thursday 25th August 2016, Samantha Thompson has sadly stepped down from the position of Chairperson at St Helens Sea Cadets. After a long 4 years in this position, Samantha has elevated St Helens Sea Cadets and Mill Street Barracks in many ways. Through continuous funding projects and driving restoration within the unit, Mill Street Barracks has been significantly improved. From projects such as the new Marine Engineering Classroom, Main Deck Restoration & new Accomodation block, Samantha has been driving the force behind this. We will certainly miss Samantha at St Helens Sea Cadets and we wish her all the best with her new Veterans project within the St Helens community.
