CIVILIAN WELFARE COMMITTEES

CIVILIAN WELFARE COMMITTEES

Civilian Committees are an integral part of the organisation which are responsible for the oversight of raising and spending of funds with the purpose of the welfare of the cadets and staff.

SQUADRON CIVILIAN WELFARE COMMITTEES

Each squadron is required to have a civilian welfare committee. The committee members usually consist of parents of cadets, past squadron members and members of the local community who have an interest in the squadron e.g. members of the local Royal British Legion. Members are required to undertake a basic check to allow them to access MOD property. They will become trustees for the squadron funds, squadrons may take out insurance to protect their trustees from any individual financial liability.

The squadron welfare committee will consist of a Chairperson, a Treasurer, a Secretary and other members who will meet four to six times a year to discuss the squadron and decide on requests for the spending of squadron funds.

WING CIVILIAN WELFARE COMMITTEE

Like squadrons, the Wing has a Civilian Welfare Committee who oversee the raising and spending of funds for the Wing, this will include spending of equipment for use across the Wing by the cadets and staff as well as grants for specific activities and cadet oportunities.

The Wing Civilian Welfare Committee is mainly made up of Chairpersons of Squadron Civilian Welfare Committees and other persons with interest in the organisation.
