Congratulations to Cadet Lance Sergeant Adam McKee from Lisneal Detachment was put forward for the Matthew Bacon Bursary award at the end of January 2020 but due to COVID the selection process was delayed.

His Detachment Commander received a brilliant email to confirm that Lance Sergeant McKee has been awarded the Matthew Bacon Bursary award which will sponsor him to complete his skills for life award at a course in Scotland in July/August. The cost of the course is nearly £2000, and this is funded by the bursary with Adam having to raise a small amount himself. This was a UK wide trawl, and it is an amazing achievement that Adam was chosen! Well done Adam and we hope that you love the course and will achieve an amazing qualification for your CV at the end. Detachment Commander Lt Natasha Rutherford said “We are all immensely proud of Adam getting this award and I am sure it will benefit Adam way into the future”
