We're challenging the Fish & Chip Industry to Give the Gift of Christmas to a Child in Crisis

For most of us, Christmas is a time of joy — a warm home, food on the table, and presents under the tree.

But for many seafaring families we support, it’s a time of heartbreak and impossible choices. Do we heat the house or buy food? A warm coat for the children, or a Christmas dinner together?

This Christmas, nearly 500 children from seafaring families across the UK need our help. Families who’ve faced bereavement, illness, job loss, or trauma. Families where parents are doing everything they can — but it’s still not enough.

Your donation will help us give each family a Christmas voucher, providing the essentials so they can enjoy a proper meal, a few small gifts, and the comfort of knowing they’re not alone.

Every single donation — no matter the size — makes a difference.
