The charity’s My LegaSea report - a multi-generational impact study following participation of more than 3,000 former cadets dating back as far as the outbreak of the Second World War - was launched in 2019 to mark the 80th anniversary of the conflict.
Carried out by academics at Durham University and Goldsmith’s College London, it explores how the structure and activities provided by the organisation for 10- to 16-year-olds, as well as young people’s relationships with volunteers, has helped shape their future.
The study finds that 95 per cent of participants said Sea Cadets had a positive impact on their life, long after they left while 80 per cent confirmed their role in the charity had developed their independence and skills.
