November 2019

Dear Supporter,

Universal Children's Day on 20 November marked the start of our Maritime Youth Appeal.

From boat-building and STEM workshops, to residential courses and Professional Yacht Cadetship training - the projects and organisations Seafarers UK supports each year, inspire and help our future seafarers build a safe career at sea.

Last year we awarded £460,436 in grant funding to help 35,333 young people access necessary training and education courses. But we need your help to continue supporting our maritime youth.

Best wishes,

Laura Gineitaite, Editor
Supporting Future Seafarers

Seafarers UK's grant funding programme supports maritime youth organisations and projects, providing young people with the training needed for a potential career at sea.

Last year Seafarers UK awarded £460,436 to help 35,333 young people access necessary training and education courses. Please help us support our maritime youth - learn more about our appeal and make a donation today. 

Your support will help future seafarers safely navigate their lives at sea. 
Providing access to education for disadvantaged young people

UK Sailing Academy (UKSA) is a charity that widens access to maritime training, improving life-skills and launching careers by providing bursaries to financially disadvantaged young people.

Last year, Seafarers UK awarded a grant of £51,000 to support UKSA's Professional Yacht Cadetship Bursary Fund. Learn more and please support our Maritime Youth Appeal.
