Dear Subscriber,

On Tuesday 23 May, we hosted a very special 100th Annual Meeting at City of London's Mansion House. Read more about the meeting, the special 100th birthday cake and its ceremonial cutting in this newsletter and on our website.

Coming up next month is our annual Supporting Seafarers Day. Read on to find out how you can get involved, or how you can support Seafarers UK at our Centenary dinner in Glasgow in October.

Last year, our funding of £2.6m helped 69 organisations and assisted over 185,000 people. You can read about our work in 2016 in our newly published Impact Report and about how our grants support people like Bob to get back into work, below.

Best wishes,
