Volunteers needed to support Buxton Air Cadets

An urgent appeal is being made for adult volunteers to come forward to ensure Buxton Air Cadets can continue. 

The group has 25 cadets and waiting list of young people who want to join but to keep going the 2517 (Buxton) Squadron of the Air Cadets needs people to come forward to help run their activities. 

The Cadets gives young people aged 12–20 the chance to get involved in a range of exciting activities, such as flying and gliding, rifle shooting, and completing the three levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. 

Volunteers do not need previous experience or qualifications as full training and support is available. There are lots of ways volunteers can get involved with both civilian and uniformed roles available. 

High Peak MP Robert Largan hopes people come forward to help.

He said: “The Air Cadets is a fantastic institution offering young people some really valuable skills and experiences. 

“I would urge anyone who can to consider volunteering with the Buxton Squadron. It would be devastating if they had to close."
