- We reduce hardships experienced by seafarers by enabling environments where, instead, they can thrive, supporting their practical and welfare needs at home, in port and at sea, often far from home. We also enable them to connect with loved ones – and to find comfort and companionship in retirement.

Supporting the wellbeing and welfare of active and retired seafarers. The Seafarers' Charity makes a life-changing impact in troubled times. Our donations and grants to organisations support those who work – or have worked – at sea, and their families.
The charity supports organisations and projects that make a real difference to people's lives across the Merchant Navy, Fishing Fleets, Royal Navy and Royal Marines. In 2023, The Seafarers' Charity awarded £2.4m in grants to support 50 maritime welfare charities.
By making a donation to The Mission to Seafarers, you are helping us to reach even more seafarers and their families, making them feel safer and more supported. How Can I Make a Donation? One way that you can support seafarers is by giving a one-off donation or even arranging to make a regular donation to our charity.
- In-kind donations – Though we might wish to think first of sources of money to cover core costs, the most significant resource for most missions is not having to pay for those core costs in the first place.
- Sale of Goods – Seafarers’ centers are not in the business of profit from seafarers. Most of what is done is free or with minimal margin. However, that small margin from the sale of SIM cards, snacks and souvenirs, and even the odd donation from a seafarer in thanks for a ride to the supermarket can add up to a not insignificant part of core costs.
- One-time donations – seafarers’ centers have traditionally benefitted from one-time donations from individuals, shipping companies, port authorities, unions or others.
- Special Events – Though companies might decide to give a one-time donation at any time, they are typically interested to sponsor and attend dinners, festive and other small-scale events that provide a chance to be seen and to network.
