The work of MNWB

Supporting, funding and engaging with our constituent members

As a highly respected, secular organisation, the MNWB uses its unique independent position to coordinate numerous working groups and influence the welfare sector. The Board has over 47 member charities and maintains fifteen Port Welfare Committees covering all UK ports and a National Seafarers’ Welfare Board in Gibraltar, organises maritime charity conferences, working groups and also provides support for the Falkland Islands.

We create and manage a range of seafarers’ welfare training courses and projects that support our members.
