We wish you a very happy holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous 2020!

The charity wants to ensure that although some seafarers are far out at sea, they and their families are supported, particularly in times of need. In partnership with others, Seafarers UK will use its grant funding, encourage collaboration and advocate on behalf of seafarers. See the manifesto.
