(November 2011 – July 2015)
Whilst volunteering at GMACF I spent considerable time training and supporting youths between the ages of 13 and 18. Initially I supported two detachments in the county before taking the post commanding one of the largest detachments in Greater Manchester. This involved managing 5 members of staff to facilitate the delivery of the APC syllabus to 50 cadets, manage budgets and lead them on camps sometimes lasting up to two weeks. This voluntary work provided outstanding CPD opportunities including a leadership programme by a key Royal Military Academy director.
