Fundraising page set up to help Sea Cadets after Wicksteed Park blaze
Commanding officer Marc Pether said they lost everything in the fire but were hoping to be up and running by April 2017.
Now, a page has been set up to help them in their battle - and it has already raised more than £1,500.

“As you can imagine our cadets, staff and parents are devastated.
“The cadets get so much out of being on the water and have many memories of great times. This is such a loss for our unit.
“We can only look forward as no good will come from going backwards.
