Sergeant Sawyer said: “The funds will help with equipment and we are looking to secure the cadets an extra curricular activity that will support the Army Proficiency Certificate (APC) Syllabus.”

Chris Biddiss, an adult instructor attached to No 3 Platoon said: “The ACF is for young people, both male and female, from the age of 12 years and in year 8, up to 18 years of age, who are looking for adventure.

“Cadets learn military skills, take part in adventure training and attend camps developing their life skills and confidence. No3 Platoon parade on Monday and Thursdays between 7pm and 9pm and anyone wishing to join can come along with a parent or guardian on either of those evenings to express their interest.”

The donation comes from the Police Property Act Fund (PPAF), made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.
