Sea Cadets Impact Report 2023/2024

The Sea Cadets Impact Report 2023/24 is the latest annual evidence summary for the UK's leading nautical youth charity, part of Marine Society & Sea Cadets. The survey was completed by 2,324 cadets, 1,898 volunteers and 2,184 parents/carers across 14,095 cadet places. Key findings include a cadet Net Promoter Score of +57, strong safeguarding confidence (92% of cadets know who to contact), disproportionate representation of looked-after children (8%), young carers (8%) and autistic young people (6.2%), and meaningful progress in satisfaction among LGBTQ+, disabled and Asian cadets. The waiting list of around 3,000 young people highlights sustained demand to expand capacity.
