wanting to give young people instruction on a
naval theme. The unit is a member of the Sea

Achievements and Performance Achievements and Performance Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Crawley Sea Cadets traditionally provide
inperson training and development in a
structured environment, which is provided via
parade nights at the Crawley Unit along with
other activities and training such as boating,
field craft and sports.
Unfortunately, the extent of these in person
training, development and weekly parades
were curtailed and directly impacted by the
pandemic for part of the year.
Throughout the year, the instructors and
volunteers embraced the challenge of not
being able to parade in person by promptly
switching the parading to a online
environment, which saw the cadets continue
with their educational and personal
development programmes. Programmes
began later in financial the year.
These sessions also provided a level of
normality and opportunity for the cadets
during periods of national lockdown, which
also contributed to their wellbeing and had a
positive impact on their mental health.
