About the Sailors’ Society
They are an international charity existing to enrich and enhance the well-being of the world’s 1.2million seafarers.
They offer practical help, emotional and spiritual support and, when needed, financial assistance and family liaison through their network of Port Chaplains and Seafarers’ Centres.
In , the Sailors’ Society Port Chaplain visits many ships as they arrive in port and is therefore heavily involved in supporting workers upon whom the energy industries depend.
Money raised from this event will help continue the provision of ship visiting Port Chaplains to support seafarers and their families in and worldwide.
What your donations will help provide:-
• £1,150 enables the Society to run the minibus service in Antwerp where seafarers are often berthed miles from amenities, for 3 months
• £285 a month will support the running costs for our Indian Port Chaplain in
• £200 a month supports the Sailors’ Society food programme in
• $10 buys an international phone credit for seafarers to contact their loved ones
Thank you very much for your support.
