Raising money for

Sailors’ Society

Charity Registration No. 237778

The British & International Sailors' Society, provides practical help and spiritual support for seafarers. It's Port Chaplains visit thousands of ships throughout the year and are often the first person to notice when all is not well on board.

The charity provides counselling when tragedy strikes and also provides a home from home in it's Seafarers' Centres and a place of rest in it's homes for retired seafarers.

The needs of seafarers are certainly no less than they were in 1818, when the Charity was established. The charity's worldwide network of Chaplains and those of it's sister organisations and carers continues to provide a vital ministry in more than 100 ports throughout the world.

BISS are almost entirely dependent upon charitable donations and without them we could not function. In recent years the charity's annual expenditure on the provision of services to the international seafaring community has increased and the indication are that to meet the demands of the years ahead it will need more funds. Your support will help us to continue caring for seafarers in need.

My story

On 21 and 22 June a team from Hill Dickinson LLP will be taking part in the Cargill/BISS Three Peaks Challenge. The team is made up of three of our assistant solicitors, Alex Saxty, Marie Sundell, and Laura Alston. It will involve climbing Ben Nevis (1344m), Helvellyn (950m) and Snowdon (1085m) three of the highest Peaks in England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours.

Each team has to raise a minimum of £5,000 and the funds raised will go towards the work of the Sailors Society in helping and caring for the 1.5 million seafarers worldwide and their families. The Society provides practical support and counselling to seafarers and their families in difficult times and their many Chaplains are always ready to provide advice and assistance irrespective of a person’s belief or nationality. The Society also has Centres in many ports offering a friendly welcome for visiting seafarers when they are away from home and also a warm, family environment in their homes for retired seafarers in Scotland and Cornwall.

We hope that you will want to support us in our challenge and contribute to this very worthwhile cause. Donations through the Just Giving website are very easy and if you pay tax in the UK then an additional 28% in tax will be added to your donation at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support.
