In this edition of Welfare Watch, we reflect on a year of collaboration and progress in seafarers’ welfare.
This issue covers key developments including the Seafarers’ Welfare Conference at the Utilita Bowl, the Westminster Hall debate, and the renewal of our Memorandum of Understanding with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
You will also find updates on the launch of a new Merchant Navy training video, the recognition of our Deputy CEO being awarded with the Merchant Navy Medal, updates on Care Ashore’s newly-refurbished flats and an invitation to share views on future training courses.
As the festive season approaches, the edition highlights the ongoing commitment of our 48 member charities to improving the lives of seafarers and their families. Looking ahead to 2026, the Board remains focused on advancing welfare standards and fostering collaboration.
