Thank you for choosing to support The Seafarers’ Charity. Your kindness will help us continue to support seafarers in need and their families.

We rely on donations, fundraising and gifts in Wills to be able to provide long-term aid. There are many ways you can donate to The Seafarers’ Charity. On this page, you will find useful information about different donation methods.

Donate online

Please make an online donation or set up a monthly gift to The Seafarers’ Charity to make a life-changing difference to seafarers in need and their families.

Support our Winter Appeal

The festive season is often a time of hope and togetherness, filled with precious moments celebrated as a family. For many seafaring families, however, there will be an empty seat at the dinner table; it can be a time of heightened loneliness. Together, we can make this season a time of hope and new beginnings for seafarers and their families who need it the most.
