We have a wonderfully dedicated team of knitters, who work hard to keep our seafarers warm. At the moment, as our centres are closed, we aren’t able to distribute the knitting as we’d like, but every week we still receive sacks of hand knitted hats, scarves, gloves and balaclavas.
Thank you to all of our volunteer knitters, your work is so important 👏🏼

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

We couldn’t run our wonderful service and centre without our amazing team of volunteers ❤️

We need you! Without the help and support of our volunteers, we couldn’t carry out our work, which helps 1.5 million seafarers around the world. Volunteering for us is flexible – it doesn’t matter how much or how little time you have. Everything counts. No matter your age, gender or background...
