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.
Registered Charity No. 226446 & 038191
Which charities can I support?
Donations can be made to any UK registered national/local charity or recognised good cause – including places of worship, schools, and foodbanks.
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations, and you can easily change the amount or nominated causes at any time.
If your chosen cause is not listed on this site, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their registered charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.
If you’d like to make a difference close to home, you can choose to support University of Manchester students and research, or donate to Manchester Museum. Just look for 'The University of Manchester' on the drop-down menu when making your donation.
