Beacon CRM has completed its investigation into the July 2026 cyber security incident. Read the latest update on the findings, actions taken and the Air Cadet Charity's response.
Jess Gilbert, Director of the Air Cadet Charity, has received The Air League’s Jeffrey Quill Medal for her work inspiring young people and expanding access to aviation opportunities. She highlighted the charity’s work in creating life-changing opportunities for young people across the UK.
A grant from the Air Cadet Charity has enabled 2248 (Rutland) Squadron to launch a robotics programme, giving cadets hands-on STEM experience with 15 VEX IQ kits. The project will soon expand into coding and advanced robotics, with a syllabus planned for wider rollout across the Wing later this year.
The Air Cadet Charity is launching a new Adventure Training Equipment Grant on 29 May 2026 to help RAF Air Cadet units buy shared outdoor activity kit. The funding aims to reduce financial barriers and give more cadets access to adventure training opportunities.
The Air Cadet Charity joined over 700 cadets and volunteers at the South and East Midlands Wing Field Day at RAF Wittering, delivering a popular STEM challenge and seeing funded equipment already making a real impact.
BAE Systems has pledged £30,000, allowing the Air Cadet Charity to direct support where it’s most needed, as demand continues to exceed available funds.
