ROBERT Halfon, MP for Harlow, visited the 2317 Harlow Air Cadets Squadron last night to see all the hard work and enthusiasm of Harlow’s young cadets and the volunteers. Mr Halfon told Your Harlow that he now wishes to encourage every young person to join and take full advantage of all the opportunities on offer. 

Mr Halfon listened to the amazing talent of those in the band and watched in awe as the cadets practised virtual aviation training. The MP for Harlow was pleased to learn that all sixty cadets are also able to gain BTEC qualifications whilst there, helping to improve their skills in both their personal and academic capabilities. 

Mr Halfon commenting on the visit said: “It was an honour to meet some of the sixty cadets who form the 2317 Harlow Air Cadets Squadron last night at their fantastic hub in Old Harlow.”

“It is truly inspiring to see the opportunities these young people have, thanks to the tireless work of everyone who makes it possible. I would strongly encourage every young person in our town to consider joining as there are just so many things you can be involved with and so many skills you can learn and develop.”

“Harlow’s Air Cadets allows every young person who joins to climb the ladder of opportunity and every volunteer to lend a helping hand to support them.”
