Gareth Davies MP with CCF cadets

Gareth Davies MP has spoken out against the Government's decision to remove funding from Combined Cadet Force units in schools across the country, including those in Lincolnshire.

Gareth said:

"From learning life skills and gaining new experiences to providing a clear, but always optional route to becoming part of our Armed Forces, joining the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) at school is a unique experience that so many young people in our area benefit from.

I am very disappointed by the Government’s decision to remove funding for CCF units, which irresponsibly risks the future of cadet forces at state schools throughout Grantham and Bourne.

I want as many local children as possible to be able to join a CCF unit and I will continue to push for this funding to be reinstated."
