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.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
