We are a vibrant and growing organisation, encompassing two charities under the one MSSC umbrella. On one side we deliver life changing nautical adventure for young people age 10 to 18, through Sea Cadets. Meanwhile the Marine Society, provides personal and professional education opportunities for seafarers worldwide.
Sea Cadets gives young people a new perspective, broadening their horizons and creating possibilities for them. Working across the UK with 14,000 young people, we help them to see the world with confidence, gained through the challenge of nautical adventure and based on the customs and traditions of the Royal Navy .
Our aim is to give young people the best possible head start in life and we are passionate about investing in all young people. We offer a unique mix of activities and experiences, delivered locally, regionally, nationally and offshore, which improves life chances at school, in work and for the community. Through this we create a sense of belonging and identity where young people flourish, gaining confidence, skills for life, values and qualifications, which help them seize a better future
Marine Society aims to inspire and support seafarers across the world to realise their full potential through a wide range of services that are geared towards their personal development, education and learning support needs. Our skilled staff are experienced in supporting and mentoring distance development and learning at sea. Through our work seafarers have the access to gain new skills and qualifications to help them progress in their careers.
MSSC employs approximately 200 employees across the UK with some based out of our Head Office in London and others at our five Training Centres, six Boat Stations and six Area Offices. We also have a fleet of five offshore vessels, which offer voyages at sea for cadets. For Sea Cadets, we also have a wonderfully dedicated group of 9,000 volunteers who run the 400 Sea Cadet Units across the UK.
