We appreciate your support

Thank you for your interest in supporting our vital work.

As a charity, and the umbrella body for the maritime welfare charities, we rely on public donations to help us to fulfil our mission.

When you consider that seafarers typically spend 9 months of the year away from family and friends so that we can enjoy the food and goods that they deliver, it seems appropriate that we support them when they visit our ports.

Many of our projects directly benefit seafarers, fishers and their families. The MiFi project provides internet access to visiting seafarers so that they can stay connected with the loved ones while they are away from home.

Our caseworking service ensures that those in desperate need get swift access to financial support.

The port information leaflets we provide inform seafarers and fishers how they can access welfare services, facilities and transport while in ports.

If you want to be part of our story, please consider a regular gift.

A monthly donation of £50 covers the cost of a MiFi unit so seafarers can access free internet while on board
A monthly donation of £30 pays for a Caseworker to be assigned to help a seafarer in need
A monthly donation of £20 pays for training for a ship welfare visitor to provide welfare support to seafarer onboard ships.
£1,000 contributes to the running costs of a vehicle for frontline welfare charities
£200 pays for a printed batch of Port Information Leaflets
£100 provides Defence Medical Welfare Service which covers the cost for a specialist medical support worker to assist seafarers in hospital or at home following illness/injury
