Charitable Support for ICIC

As with each conference to date, ICIC is delighted once again to be supporting the City of London Sea Cadet Unit 293. 

Each Unit is a stand alone charity and needs financial support  to continue its excellent work. The City of London Sea Cadet Unit 293 is one of around 400 Sea Cadets  Units in the UK and recruits boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18.  Most of the Cadets are drawn from the inner London, “City Fringe”  boroughs. 

The CoLSCC parade aboard the historic cruiser HMS Belfast, usually meet twice a week and when possible enjoy weekend adventures outside. There are about 35 Cadets in the City of London Unit, with the number being limited by the available accommodation.

The Cadets are taught by a volunteer team of dedicated staff.  The Cadets work in teams, or sometimes individually, to learn a variety of skills, mainly with a nautical theme. Although many of  these skills will stand them in good stead in later life, whatever they choose to do. 

The Unit also has weekend camping trips during which the Cadets learn campcraft,  orienteering and cooking. These weekends, along with other activities, contribute to the young peoples’ personal  development in terms of building attributes such as self-reliance and team work.  ICIC is proud to be supporting the CoLSCC in its activities.
