The spotlight will be thrown on Margate Sea Cadets when they appear on a TV show tonight (Tuesday).

Filmed as part of ITV’s People’s Millions, the Sea Cadets will be appealing to the public to support their organisation, which introduces young people to seamanship by teaching them about sailing and yachting.

The public will be able to vote for the cause they think the most deserving, and if it wins the public vote, the Sea Cadets will receive lottery funding to buy a safety training vessel which will be used to educate the young about sailing.

The Margate Sea Cadets' project will be going head to head with Bexhill United Football Club’s floodlight project. The project that receives the most public support will win an award of £50,000.

Voting is open from 9am to midnight. If you want to support the training and safety boat project project, call 0871 626 88 53 to cast your vote.

The People's Millions is a UK-wide programme which aims to fund projects that improve the quality of life of local communities. Projects will transform the local environment or provide opportunities or facilities that allow people to enjoy their local area.

The runner up with the highest number of votes in each ITV region will also win an award, so every vote counts!

The programme will be broadcast on ITV Meridian’s regional news programme at 6pm on Tuesday, November 24.
