The Seafarers' Charity

For more than a century, The Seafarers’ Charity has been improving the lives of those who work at sea and their families.

Established in 1917, we’ve grown into the largest independent funder of maritime welfare charities, delivering impactful support to enhance financial resilience, health, wellbeing and safer working lives at sea.

Through our grant giving, we’re bringing about truly life-changing impact for many who work, or have worked, at sea and their families.

Alongside this, we’re also using funding collaboration, research and advocacy to tackle the root causes of seafarer hardship and disadvantage in the UK and around the world.

Regular monthly gifts allow us to plan ahead and provide reliable funding for charities to continue this vital work.
