This week is @TrusteesWeek - a national celebration of the people who work behind the scenes to keep charities like @AirCadets squadrons running.
Here’s a message from Wing Chair @MrRyanPhillips and Wing Cmdr Ross McElligott to kick off the week.

From @DofE to @CRESTawards, @StJohnAmbulance first aid to leadership - our cadets have been busy!
In recent months, they’ve earned a whole host of badges and certificates, reflecting their hard work and commitment.
Last night, we hosted our latest virtual open evening. We can't wait to welcome our new cadets to their first parade night next month! 😁

Joined @CosfordCadets today at @CarnivalShifnal ☀️🎶
Despite the heat, the band and Red Barrows team delivered fantastic performances, with great support and plenty of water breaks throughout.
A brilliant community event!

Several of our cadets went on to represent the Wing at @wandwaircadets Region competition — helping secure 1st place! 💪
In preparation for their Silver @DofE Award expedition, some of our cadets recently had the opportunity to practice their canoeing skills.
These sessions are vital in helping our cadets build water confidence, teamwork, & resilience as they prepare for their upcoming challenge.
@CosfordCadets@aircadets The trustees proudly awarded a grant to support her & another cadet with fundraising. Trustees play a vital role in ensuring cadets can access every opportunity.
It’s been a privilege to serve on this committee. I’ll continue supporting them in my wider role as @wmwrafac Chair.
You're invited! Why should you attend?
🔹The squadron is entirely run by volunteers, & we rely on local support.
🔹Whether you’re a parent, former cadet, or just passionate about supporting young people - you can make a real difference!

@MrCressa@265Chetwynd@aircadets We can’t speak for every unit, as resources vary across the org, but we’re fortunate to offer a wide range of activities. In just 4wks we’ve flown, completed fieldcraft, first aid, road marching, shooting, &+.
If have concerns, do reach out directly: https://t.co/bVb5OzmIL3
We recently held a music training day, welcoming our band members, training flight cadets, and visitors from @265Chetwynd for a day of learning, practice, & collaboration. Events like this help cadets develop discipline, confidence, & teamwork - all through the power of music

Huge congrats to one of our cadets, who has just completed his first solo flight after 50+ training flights! ✈️👏
This was a personal venture outside of cadet activities, but his dedication and skill means he can now be awarded the @aircadets Civilian Solo Gliding Badge! 🏅
@BandMercianRegt@stokecity Callum’s journey in the @AirCadets sparked his passion for military music. Now, he’s taking his skills to the next level in the @BritishArmy!
