It’s finally here, the moment we’ve all been waiting for!
We’re thrilled to unveil the names of the 12 individuals who have made it through to the final expedition stage of the 2025 Cadet Vocational College Westminster Award!
This announcement is always a bittersweet moment for us, as we reflect on the incredible 44 young people we had the privilege to meet during the selection stage of the competition.
While we wish we could bring each and every one of them to the competition’s next stage and to the prestigious House of Lords in September, we’re incredibly proud of them for being such great ambassadors for Cadet Vocational College and their youth organisations.
