 So often we see stories of disillusioned and troubled young people involved in crime and antisocial behaviour, but that is not my experience of the young people in our army, sea and air cadet forces. A great number of young people in the county give up their spare time to raise money for charity, help older and disadvantaged people in our community and work hard to develop practical skills to complement their school work.
 

With Christmas on the horizon, family and friends are at the forefront of our minds.  For many families in the South West, who have relatives serving abroad as reservists supporting the regular forces, this time of year can be particularly poignant.
