Army Reaches Out to Ely Air Cadets

The British Army is continuously engaging with local community youth groups and schools about what Careers and Opportunities the Army has to offer.

Cambridge Army Recruitment Office arrange and support events such as Careers Fairs, Assemblies and Presentations for young people in year 8 or above and other community groups. These can include pop up events and stands over a lunch time, during a scheduled lesson/period throughout the day or of a morning or evening.

At Ely Squadron we contacted the Army Outreach and Engagement team in Cambridge who offered to run team tasks and inclusive exercises with military equipment with the cadets alongside serving personnel promoting Teamwork and Decision Making.

Ely’s Corporal Anna Munday said

“Last week we were lucky enough to have a visit from HM Forces personnel from The Army. We all took part in a variety of exercises and activities including a talk about the intelligence side of what the Army do. The whole night was extremely fun and engaging.

A big thank you to our visitors, we all enjoyed ourselves and had a great time!”

Ely’s Royal Air Force Air Cadets are accepting enquiries for their next intake of new recruits. Young people aged 12-17 can register their interest in joining the next intake of new recruits:
