Why your school or cadet detachment should get involved

There are many reasons your school or cadet detachment should get involved with this year's March in March, here are just a few:

  • March in March brings everyone together, marching for the same cause, Combat Stress, for veterans mental health.
  • It gets you out of the classroom and into the fresh air, boosting everyone's health and wellbeing.
  • Gives the opportunity to start important conversations around mental health.
  • March in March is open to all, it is your challenge, your way so your school or detachment can work out their own way to complete the miles over the month.

Ark Alexandra Academy Cadets

Ark Alexandra Academy in Hastings have participated in March in March for the past three years raising over £17,000 in the process.

Many of the students at the Academy receive free school meals, and to support the cadets, the school gives financial allowances towards their enrolment fees, equipment purchases, trips and training.  Despite the financial difficulties, the cadets continue to be in the Top 3 of the teams leaderboards year on year, the support and generosity of those within the community is clear to see. 

When asked about last year’s challenge, CCF Contingent Commander, Nick Burchell said:

“It was a fantastic day with spirits high throughout. We ended the day on a total of £8500 which was in excess of the funds raised last year where we were fundraisers of the year. The weather was an improvement upon last year plus we had parents walking with the cadets and ex cadets who wanted to support their friends.”
