Cadets
If you’ve made it to this page then you’re probably looking for a challenge; something to bring out what you’re really capable of. Well, this is where you get to prove it – you may even surprise yourself with what you can achieve. Check out this section to answer your questions and help you get started. Joining up is only the beginning…
Volunteers
If you’re aged over 20 you can volunteer. That’s it. No need for military experience or any form of previous training – we’ll take care of that. We’re just looking for suitable, enthusiastic individuals to help our cadets get the most from their time with us.
The benefits of being a part of the RAF Air Cadets are the same for volunteers as for cadets – the opportunity to do lots of exciting activities and develop personal skills and talents. As a volunteer this is free to you! Find out more about volunteering now.
Parents
We’re committed to keeping parents aware of what we do and the lengths we go to ensure that all our activities are safe, well organised and that our members gain a structured and invaluable experience.
