An award winning cadet programme

To celebrate #VolunteersWeek2025, this week we sit down with the inspiring young police cadets and their dedicated cadet leader to uncover what makes this programme truly exceptional. Recently honoured with the King’s Award for Voluntary Service — the highest accolade a UK volunteer group can receive — the Kent Police cadet programme is more than just a uniform. It’s a place where young people can discover their potential, build confidence and make a real difference in their communities. Discover how our cadets have grown in confidence, resilience, and leadership through community service and learning life skills. Find out why our leaders are so passionate about mentoring the next generation, and hear the stories about the unforgettable trips and events along the way. Whether you're a young person looking for a new challenge, or someone inspired to support the next generation as a leader, this episode provides an insight into all things Kent Police cadets.
