Milford Haven Sea Cadets have been able to safeguard the future of their waterborne activities thanks to funding from Milford Haven Port. The organisation recently applied to MHPA's Community Programme and was successful in securing sponsorship for a new safety-boat trailer and tow hitch installation.

Milford Haven Sea Cadets are currently carrying out a project to replace a number of their road trailers, to benefit both current and future cadets and volunteers. At present, there are 53 cadets and 14 volunteer staff who take part in a wide range of activities, the majority of which take place on the Milford Haven Waterway. Chart work, sailing, rope work, cooking and marine engineering are some of the many skills learnt by the cadets.

Commenting on the funding, Sub Lieutenant (SCC) William Elliott RNR, Commanding Officer, said: "I would like to thank Milford Haven Port Authority for their generosity in supporting our waterborne activities. Without such donations we would not be able to get the cadets afloat."

Applications to Milford Haven Port's community support programme are open to charities, voluntary and community organisations and social enterprises that are working within Pembrokeshire. For more information visit http://www.mhpa.co.uk">www.mhpa.co.uk
