"They did quite a bit of fundraising for the Rotary International and some of them went on a trip to Croatia," said Mr Anslow.
"They did a lot of maintenance work and they helped out with some of the patients," he added.
The cadets and their families gathered at Liskeard Public Hall for the presentation evening, which took place last month.
The awards included Cadet of the Year, Most Improved Cadet and a special award for 16-year-old Laura Toms from Dobwalls, who is the current High Sheriff Police Cadet for Cornwall.
The cadets will continue fundraising this year.
Their chosen charity for 2013 is the Liskeard Breathers Group.
Its members provide support and equipment to people suffering from chronic lung conditions.
They will also continue raising funds for the centre in Croatia. Mr Anslow said: "We are hoping to purchase a minibus and donate it to the centre."
"They really haven't got anything," he added. Mr Anslow said the group are continuing to recruit new members.
He said: "We get them from all walks of life.
He added: "They are a very positive face for the police and young people."
