, Abbey and finish at .
We, the Southampton Team will, with your help, raise as much as we possibly can for the charity.
AoS is the frontline service for the care of seafarers visiting British shores. They provide practical and pastoral care to all seafarers. Their port chaplains and volunteer ship visitors welcome seafarers, offer welfare services and advice, practical help, care and friendship.

However the life of modern seafarer can be dangerous and lonely.They may spend up to a year at a time away from home, separated from their family and loved ones and often working in harsh conditions.Apostleship of the Sea is on hand to support them through this.
