A Milford Haven fundraising campaign by the Sea Cadets has been supported by Valero Pembroke Refinery.

Milford Haven Sea Cadets and Royal Marine Cadets - also known as T.S. Harrier - have been raising money to purchase a new boat to help improve the rowing capability of the unit, and following an appeal to Valero have received £500 towards their target.

Executive officer Margaret Gage, said: “T.S. Harrier supports a large number of cadets from Milford Haven and the surrounding areas, with around 50 young people taking part regularly in our exciting activities, such as seamanship, marine engineering, sailing and kayaking. Thanks to Valero’s donation we will be able to purchase a sliding-seat boat, which will be a great resource for our cadets now and in the future.”

Stephen Thornton, refinery public affairs manager, said: “Organisations like the Sea Cadets do a fantastic job in teaching young people important life skills and Valero is pleased that we can help T.S. Harrier’s efforts with this donation.”
