The Seafarers' Charity operates three main grant programmes to provide funding to organisations supporting the safety and welfare needs of seafarers and their families.
Main Grant Programme
Our main grant programme is focused on providing funding for charities and not-for-profit organisations, delivering safety initiatives and welfare services to seafarers and fishers.
Merchant Navy Fund
Merchant Navy Fund is a joint fundraising and grants programme operated in partnership with the Merchant Navy Welfare Board. It is focused on funding welfare services which support the UK’s merchant seafarers.
Seafarers International Relief Fund
Established in 2021, Seafarers International Relief Fund (SIRF) is a partnership between the shipping industry and maritime welfare charities to support seafarers internationally. SIRF is currently fundraising and accepting grant applications to provide emergency support to seafarers and their families affected by the crisis in Ukraine.
