The Seafarers' Charity

The Seafarers' Charity

At The Seafarers’ Charity, we’ve been improving the lives of seafarers and their families for over 106 years.

We started as the King George’s Fund for Sailors, providing vital assistance in troubled times.

Today, we’re evolving guided by the same powerful vision.

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.
