Squadron Receive Grant Funding

Sandy Air Cadets have recently been able to purchased new training equipment, thanks to grants totalling £774 from the Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation and DHL Inside Track.

The Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation kindly gave the Squadron a grant totalling £474, for the purchase of rucksacks, tents, folding gas stoves and mess kit, for the cadets to use on their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions.

The Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation provide grants to support local community groups and charities, and are funded from local businesses and individuals and from national charities and organisations.

The Squadron also received an additional £300 grant from DHL Inside Track, with whom Flight Sergeant Paul Redman is employed. The grant was given by DHL Inside Track, in recognition of Paul’s continued charitable work with the Squadron, and the Air Cadet Organisation.

Flight Sergeant Paul Redman ATC commented “It’s really great to be able to get the funding to provide the cadets with the equipment to allow them to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, and open further opportunities to the cadets”.

We would like to thank the Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation and DHL Inside Track, for helping support the Squadron in providing activities and opportunities for cadets at the Squadron.
