UMT TRUSTEE - Each Sea Cadet unit is an independent charity in its own right which must fundraise for its running costs while the parent charity of MSSC (Marine Society & Sea Cadets) funds the charitable infrastructure and provides national facilities. Our biggest supporter is the Royal Navy whose customs and traditions are at the heart of what we do.

Sea Cadet units are managed and run by committed volunteers. The unit management team (UMT) are volunteers and act as the unit’s trustees, headed up by unit chairperson, vice chairperson, secretary and treasurer. The UMT is responsible for the running of the unit at a strategic and management level.

Each Sea Cadet unit must comply with all policies and procedures issued for the governance of Sea Cadets by, or on behalf of, the MSSC Council and the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The MOD underwrites the Sea Cadet training liabilit.

General Committee Members

The general committee work is shared amongst the committee members as well as delegated work. In addition to being jointly responsible for all the decision taking, members of the committee will ensure that the following work will be done:

Keep all member families in touch with activities, events and news by means of the notice board, newsletters and other letters to parents and carers.

Ensure that they volunteer to help on the parent rota regularly, if appropriate.

Be involved with fund-raising and fund finding for the setting. Feeding this information back to the committee. In some cases working alongside the manager in completing and submitting the paperwork for grant applications on behalf of the setting.

In consultation with committee members and staff buy new equipment for the setting. Staff members however should ensure that equipment is clean, safe and maintained regularly.

Ensure that the setting is a safe place for everyone.

Welcome new families to the setting and those who join the committee.

Assist with the annual review of policies and procedures and provide feedback if necessary.

Assist with updating information for new families.

Help organise outings, parties and events within the setting.

If all of the work involved in the management and day-to-day running of the setting is shared then more members will understand how everything is organised, will gain new skills and, most importantly, be providing a very worthwhile, quality education and childcare service for their local community.

It is worth remembering being involved in voluntary work looks good on your C.V and for future employment!

The Hub on the Hill is going to be opening, once a month, the “Memory Lane” Café for individuals who care for or experience the effects of Dementia. In doing so we are looking for members of the local community who can volunteer their time to support this new venture. Are you interested? If so ask yourself these questions:

- Do you want to support the Hub on the Hill, and get involved in community projects?

- Do you have a few spare hours once a month on a Tuesday between the hours of 10.00 and 12.30pm

- Do you have experience, or have supported individuals with Dementia in the past, or are just interested in making a difference to someone’s life living with Dementia or caring for someone with Dementia  

- Do you have any hidden talents, such as arts and crafts, singing, story telling and knowledge of the local area?

If you have answered YES to any of these questions, we would really like to hear from you.
