The cadets have worked hard over the last year completing al the sections of the Bronze Award. Assisted and encouraged by the B Company Duke of Edinburgh award Team 2Lt Roxborough and SSI Boyd.

Major Rutherford congratulated the cadets on their achievement and thanked the staff for their hard work in supporting the cadets.

As part of our Community Engagement programme B Company had a visit from Mrs Audrey Moore from “The Friends of Rossmar” the registered charity of Rossmar Special School, Limavady.

Audrey spoke to the cadets to tell them about the great work being done at the school for young people aged 4 – 19 years old. The cadets were then asked to come up with ideas to raise some much-needed funds to help purchase extra equipment such as special playground and sensory equipment.
