Fire Cadets Set Sights on Nepal Adventure

A group of 14 Fire Cadets and eight leaders are currently fundraising to build classrooms for Nepalese schoolchildren, and to go on a life-changing 14-day trip to Nepal in autumn 2026.

Every cadet and leader need to raise £3,600 each to support a rural village school through hands-on work and cultural exchange.

Partnering with the charity Classrooms in the Clouds, the cadets will help improve education access by supporting teacher training and building inclusive classrooms. They’ll also trek through the Himalayas, guided by local sherpas, gaining unforgettable experiences along the way.

Cadet Manager Jason McTigue is accompanying the group and said: “Next autumn may seem a long way off but the deadline for fundraising is before this, as we will need to get the classrooms built and ready for our arrival.

“If everyone can encourage and support them on their journey by donating, attending local events, or sharing fundraising ideas. Every bit helps make this incredible opportunity a reality!”
