Our 2023 in pictures 🚒

As we count down the last hours of 2023, we take a look back at our year.

Back in 2022, we pledged that we would continue with our hard work and dedication for 2023 to which we delivered. This year showcased the hard work of our cadets and instructors. From taking part in drill yard activities to out in the community at events. Everyone’s determination and support flourished regards of rain or shine.

We gained new faces within our family of cadets, and we even gained a new instructor Vicky. Like the majority of things, we were again faced with challenges. However everybody stepped up and took these challenges without hesitation.

From fund raising events, Station open days, joint collaboration session with other cadet branches to competing the UKRO Fire Cadet Trauma Challenge in Lincolnshire. These are just some of the amazing work our fire cadets have demonstrated this year. We are extremely proud of each and everyone one of our cadets. It gives us great pride watching our cadets learn and develop their skills to help to shape their future.

As we all now look forward to 2024, we have no doubt that the work we all did this will be continued in the new year.

A big massive thank you to everyone who has been involved and supported us through the year and continue to do so. Fire Cadets, Parents and to our instructors. Thank you all so much.

Happy New Year all, here’s to 2024! 🚒🎊🎉

Merry Christmas everyone!!! 🥳We hope you all have a wonderful day. Stay safe during the festive holiday.

The Instructor team.

Last week was our final cadet night of 2023, thank you to all the cadets and instructors that attended. We started off at Inflatanation and the back to the station for pizza and even had a visit from Santa himself!!! 🎅

Look forward to welcoming you all back in 2024!!!
