Worse things happen ashore…

Seafarers UK is the only central fund making grants to nautical charities. In the past ten years alone £26m has been awarded to meet the welfare needs of those who have risked their lives at sea and their dependants. We work on behalf of all seafarers – veterans and serving members of the Royal Navy, Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets. Please pay seafarers the ultimate tribute by leaving Seafarers UK a gift in your Will.
