How does Seafarers UK help seafarers?
Seafarers UK does not give grants to individuals, but funds expert front-line charities that work directly with seafarers in distress. These charities help with all aspects of seafarers’ welfare, including accommodation, medical services, disability services, financial aid, childcare, education and training and youth activities. Seafarers UK raises money through its fundraising activities and this enables it to give away over £2.5 million in grants every year.
