Lighthouse Seafarers’ Mission
Grant funding awarded in 2022 to support the salary costs for 12 months of an additional 1.5 FTE staff at the Lighthouse Seafarers Mission in the Falklands. This will enable greater amounts of time to be spent with seafarers - interacting with them more often and as required. It will also allow for additional staff training to enable improved responses to the needs of seafarers, and a greater number of ship visits to take place. In addition, with the many Ukraine and Russian nationals coming into the Port, the workload has increased to care for their needs.
Amount awarded: £40,000
