Our Cadets actively engage in fundraising to support their activities and support other community groups in their events.
Fundraising – Everyone has a part to play
Each Sea Cadet unit is a charity in its own right. They are responsible for raising the funds for their own activities, courses and events. When donating to a Sea Cadet unit, you can be certain that the money will be spent on young people in the local area.
Get involved and make the difference
Our Cadets enthusiastically participate in fundraising events to support their activities and contribute to their communities.
Everyone can help. It could be selling cake, handing out fliers, helping with RNLI flag days or staffing the car park (parents and staff) at local events. Working as a team, the cadets contribute to the efforts of the unit as a whole. Every fundraising target that we hit is a success that they have helped earn.
Say Hello
Most of our new recruits have come from direct contact with our cadets. Whilst running the stall, our cadets have been able to talk to people face to face and share their experiences.
We have learnt so much from listening to the stories of those that visit our stalls. We meet cadets from all over the country who are visiting with their families or on holiday and ex cadets who love to pass on their experiences.
So please, say hello.
First Steps
Our first fundraising stall was a simple table at the Old Town Dickensian Festival. At this event, stalls were hosted by shop owners throughout Bridlington Old Town.
Branching Out
With the permission of our friends in the RNLI, we took our wares to the sea front and sold cake to the families visiting Santa’s Grotto.
Trying Something New
Expanding our range of goodies, we took to the seafront again during the Race the Waves event. This time with a Gazebo and extra tables for all of the things that the cadets and their families had been making.
Success With A Tombola
The cadets had a great time selling Tombola tickets at the Bridlington Lions Carnival. The stock of prizes have almost all gone so we restocked our lollipop game.
Having Fun With Our Boat Race
It wouldn’t be Sea Cadets if we didn’t have some boats. Using fly swatters to waft boats down some water filled guttering is a hilarious way to spend the afternoon.
After The Parade
Some of our cadets gather in front of our stall after parading with the veterans on Armed Forces Day.
Co-op
Please support us as your local cause at the C0-op. Our cause page is here: Co-op and you can view a short video from the Co-op on how to support us here: How to lend your support
Justgiving
We are running a fundraising project on JustGiving to support the purchase of RS Quests.
You can leave a donation here Get Out on the Water – JustGiving
EasyFundraising
Please support us using the easyfundraising app whenever you purchase something online. It doesn’t cost you any more and all of the pennies add up.
Bridlington Food Festivals
We have made a name for ourselves selling home made scones at the local food festivals. We sometimes add chilled fruit pots, sweets and other items but it wouldn’t be the same without our fresh cream scones.
Helping out with North Wolds Lions
Bridlington Sea Cadets had a great time out at Flamborough, helping our friends in the North Wolds Lions. We look forward to helping them again next Christmas as they spread Christmas cheer and raise funds for numerous local charities around the area.
Filey Fishtive Tree
We were able to help our friends in Filey Sea Cadets support the annual switch on of the Fishtive Tree.
