The Seafarers’ Charity awards grants to new online services to support seafarers
The Seafarers’ Charity awards grants to new online services to support seafarers who have experienced sexual violence, and to help tackle loneliness and suicide.
Actioning their new strategic approach, The Seafarers’ Charity awarded a total of £844,760 to 17 organisations in its first meeting of this year’s grant programme. The charity recently launched its strategy ‘Thrive’, which focuses on achieving five strategic outcomes for seafarers [Enhanced financial resilience; Better working lives at sea; Improved Health and Wellbeing; Raised safety standards and practices and increased social justice] and rebranded from Seafarers UK. Last year the charity awarded £3.5m to organisations supporting seafarers through its annual grants award programme and additionally a specific COVID-19 Emergency Fund to provide an all-embracing eco-system of welfare support to seafarers.
