It’s Volunteers’ Week, and we’re celebrating the people who make everything we do possible.

Two of our Company Commanders have shared their thoughts on just how important our volunteers are and why their dedication matters so much to our cadets and our organisation.

To every volunteer across Essex Army Cadets: thank you. Your impact is felt every day.
