The Trust’s Chairman, Air Vice-Marshal Nick Kurth, was a guest at Sunday’s Sea Cadet Trafalgar Day Parade and Reception at Horse Guards in London. Nick’s attendance was to acknowledge the support that The Ulysses Trust provides to the Sea Cadet movement.
Indeed, so far in 2019, the Trust has awarded over £25,000 to support Sea Cadet expeditions benefiting 131 young people taking part in 7 expeditions/activities. These range from rowing to participating in an adventure in the US.
Being of an RAF persuasion, Nick needed to spend some time understanding a new vocabulary, ranging from belay pins to side scuttles! Nick did however catch-up with some Royal Marine colleagues.
