Mayor's charity

TS Brilliant is made up of around 60 sea cadets, Royal Marine cadets, and a naval band. The unit aims to give young people, aged 9 to 18, an experience that will help them grow into the person they want to be in a safe and friendly environment. Through various activities and adventures, they learn teamwork, respect, loyalty, self-confidence, commitment, self-discipline, honesty and how to be the best version of themselves.

We offer a range of different activities from sailing, windsurfing and powerboating - to rock climbing, camping, and music - plus, so much more! At Tunbridge Wells you are also able to gain different qualifications that you can take with you once you leave Sea Cadets!

The borough’s first affiliation to HMS Brilliant came about during Warship Week in 1942. In 1982, shortly after the Falkland’s War, the ship and her company were granted the Freedom of the Borough, which she exercised on a number of occasions, with TS Brilliant also taking part, up to her decommissioning in 1996.

It is our priority to make sure that Sea Cadets is a safe environment young people can go to, to be themselves.
