PARENTS worrying about their child’s future should look to sea and naval training for reassurance, according to new research. The My LegaSea study, published last month, saw youth charity Sea Cadets survey more than 3,000 of its former members - enlisted from 1942 to 2001 - to discover how its training impacts young people’s lives. Most of the charity s units are currently delivering training and meetings online during the coronavirus pandemic, including TS Dido in Bolton. The survey found that former Sea Cadets felt their happiness and wellbeing improved during their time with the charity, as well as their ability to cope with challenges.
