They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

As @TrusteesWeek comes to a close, we want to say a huge thank you to every trustee across West Mercian Wing.
Whether you’ve volunteered for years or recently joined, your work truly enables the @aircadets experience.

Our cadets and volunteers have been sharing what trustees mean to them - from funding equipment to helping make camps happen.
Thank you to every trustee across the Wing for making the @aircadets experience possible!

This week, we’re celebrating our trustees - who keep our squadrons running behind the scenes.

Hear from Cadet Warrant Officer Hadley at @CosfordCadets , who shares why trustees matter and how their support helps cadets across the Wing.

Yesterday, @wmwrafac Treasurer and I attended the @WandWAirCadets Council meeting - a great opportunity to share best practice, strengthen governance, and ensure our trustees are supported to deliver the best cadet experience.

It is with great sadness that, yesterday afternoon, we heard of the passing of former West Mercian Wing WO Steve Moore.

Wg Cdr McElligott said “WO Moore was a fantastic instructor, he cared deeply for the Corps, its cadets, and its staff. He will be sorely missed.”

[West Mercian Wing @wmwrafac]

The Wg Cdr was busy awarding his Challenge Coins at @wmwrafac @RAFHalton Easter Camp 2024
Sqn Ldr Buckland, Flt Lt Marsh, Flt Lt Cadman, Plt Off Masterton-Smith, FS McGrath and CWO Stewart were all the lucky recipients #rafac #aircadets #wmwrafac #wmwatc
