Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue is calling for local volunteers to help launch two new Fire Cadet units in Grantham and Sleaford, offering young people the chance to gain practical skills, confidence, and experience.
Each unit will welcome up to 15 cadets, giving them a structured introduction to fire and rescue work while developing teamwork, leadership, and community awareness. The programme is open to young people interested in learning about public service or simply looking to challenge themselves in a supportive setting.
The initiative is part of a wider expansion of the Fire Cadets programme in Lincolnshire, supported by government funding to boost youth engagement and strengthen community connections. Volunteers are needed to serve as Cadet Instructors, guiding participants through training and helping to shape their personal growth.
The role is open to people from all walks of life, including those with backgrounds in emergency services, education, or community work. Volunteers will receive full training and have the opportunity to mentor young people while building their own leadership and communication skills.
