On Thursday 18 July the Annual Fire Cadet award presentation took place at Hellingly Community Hub.
Cadets, parents, staff and special guests Including cadets supporter and first female retained firefighter Sister Mary Joy Langdon BEM, High Sheriff Lucinda Fraser, Master of Worshipful company of Fire Fighters Professor David Holt, Chris Speck of Bexhill 100, Sue Saunders first Vice President and June Hough President of Bexhill Lions Club attended the event celebrating the accomplishments of our Fire Cadets from Bexhill, Eastbourne and Uckfield units.
Cadets coordinator Susan Taylor said, “What a fantastic evening it was, thank you to everyone who attended, your participation added immense value and the evening was a great success. I am incredibly proud of our cadets, who all wrote their own speeches and despite the nerves got up and spoke to over 100 guests!”
Chief Fire Officer Dawn Whittaker said, “Congratulations to all those involved in organising the event, the cadet unit co-ordinators and our cadets. I received so many positive comments from attendees and parents and the difference cadets has made to young people. It was inspiring to have our senior cadets speak and introduce the guests, they all did so well. I am sure their parents were very proud.”
