CHELMSFORD Sea Cadets will be able to buy a new boat after raising more than £4,000.

Bag packing at Sainsbury’s store in Springfield, Chelmsford, has helped to bring in £4,070 for group, while other fundraising efforts such as curry and quiz nights have also helped boost the total.

The fundraising drive was helped by the charity partnership with the supermarket.

John Freemantle, chairman of the Chelmsford Sea Cadets said: “We’ve raised a fantastic amount which we’re using towards a new boat and we’re now looking forward to working with them on future opportunities.
