Earlier in the year we took four young people on a five day Outward Bound course in Aberdovey Wales. The experience took them out of their comfort zone and challenged many areas in their lives. Each of them discovered something new about themselves and they all made some significant life style changes as a result.
Last night I met one of the lads in Uniform when I asked about it he and a friend have joined the Police Cadets and they are both loving it. They are proud of the uniform, enjoying the challenges and discipline of it. It was fantastic to here them enthuse and see how the lad we had taken has carried on since his return to the Cally.
It takes courage to join the Police Cadets and go against the flow of your peers. We count this as a success and look forward to seeing him and his mate develop in the next few years.
