Why promote Army Cadets?

The Army Cadet Force (ACF), sponsored by the UK Ministry of Defence and the British Army, offers a unique opportunity for young people to develop skills, build confidence, and gain a head start on their new future. As part of the Community Cadet Forces, the ACF provides exciting and challenging activities such as fieldcraft, adventure training, first aid, music, sport, and shooting.

Cadets are not subject to military ‘call up’, but many choose to enlist in the armed forces later in life. The ACF nurtures a strong community spirit and offers a supportive environment where young people can thrive. Community engagement is a key part of the Army Cadet syllabus, helping cadets understand how communities function and the positive impact they can make through volunteering.

Supporting the Army Cadet Force and Empowering Young People

At ISHEP, We believe that by providing essential facilities for Army Cadet Force (ACF) training, such as drill halls, we can significantly contribute to their ongoing preparedness and effectiveness.

Our facilities, when not in use, can be repurposed to support various ACF training activities. This ensures that our resources are utilised to their fullest potential and strengthens the bond between our organisation and the ACF. By offering these essential spaces, we provide additional resources, especially in local areas where no ACF detachment is present. This helps maintain the high standards of training and readiness that are vital for young people.

Empowering Young People via Army Cadet Force

Our commitment to the ACF goes beyond just providing facilities. We understand the importance of creating an environment where young people can develop essential skills, build confidence, and prepare for their future.

By supporting the ACF, we help young people:

– Engage in challenging and rewarding activities
– Develop leadership and teamwork skills
– Gain a sense of discipline and responsibility
– Contribute positively to their communities
– Strengthening Our Community Ties

A strong collaboration with the ACF not only benefits young people but also strengthens our community ties. By working together, we nurture a spirit of cooperation and mutual support that enhances the well-being of our communities.
