Since 1941, we have been offering young people from Southend and surrounding areas exciting opportunities for personal and professional development.

Adventure Training & Fieldcraft
Cadet life is about learning through practical experience, especially in the great outdoors! Camping, adventurous training, overseas camps…

Sport
As an air cadet you can take part in seven main sports at different levels: Athletics, cross country, football, rugby, hockey, netball and swimming.

Group visits
Mixing work and play is at the heart of the Air Cadets. You’ll build friendships and learn how to use your strengths to best effect in a team.
