About The Seafarers’ Charity
At The Seafarers’ Charity (formerly Seafarers UK), we’ve been improving the lives of all seafarers and their families for over 100 years. We started as the King George’s Fund for Sailors in 1917 to provide vital assistance in troubled times. Today, we’re guided by the same powerful vision. >> Putting funding where it matters Through our grant giving, we’re bringing about truly life-changing impact for many who work – or have worked – at sea, and their families. Alongside this we’re also using funding collaboration, research and advocacy to tackle the root causes of seafarer hardship and disadvantage in the UK and around the world. We receive no government funding and depend heavily on public donations and legacies. In 2023, we awarded 67 grants to 50 organisations totalling more than £2.4m. >> Partner with us We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can work together as partners and improve the lives of seafarers and their families whilst ensuring your objectives for Corporate Social Responsibility are managed and directed to help seafarers most in need. If you would like to discuss how we could work with you as an individual or corporate partner please email contact@theseafarerscharity.org or call us on 020 7932 0000.
