The Thomas Hardye School CCF is a force for good, dedicated to making a real difference in the community. With a deep-rooted commitment to service, discipline, and leadership, the cadets of Thomas Hardye School CCF have gone above and beyond in their charitable efforts, raising an impressive £12,385 for good causes over their last three fundraisers.
The school’s CCF dates back to around 1908 when it was an Officer Training Corps before it became a CCF around 1940.
March for March: Supporting Combat Stress
Most recently, on 29 March 2025, the contingent took on the March for March challenge, a ten-mile trek around Dorchester to raise funds for Combat Stress, the UK’s leading mental health charity for veterans. A total of 26 cadets, alongside several adult volunteers, participated in the demanding route, demonstrating outstanding resilience and determination. Every single participant completed the challenge in a timely manner, showcasing their dedication not only to the cause but also to their personal and team development.
