2023 was a challenging year with cost of living increases and higher utility costs.
We have continued to focus on the unit building this year, having fully repaired the female toilets and made improvements to the ‘main deck’ and other Cadet areas.
Going forward, we have secured grants from both private and public institutions to replace our aged boiler system. This will secure the future of Sea Cadets in Bolton for years to come.
We continue to seek increasing involvement with community groups and organisations to provide income. I am pleased to see the reestablishment of Sea Cadet relationships with related organisations such as the Royal Naval Association further deepening the important ties between the town of Bolton and the Sea Cadets.
Despite significant headwinds, mainly energy and supplier costs, I am confident of our progress in 2024.
