Supporting the transition to virtual services for seafarers during the COVID-19 crisis

Newly introduced social distancing guidelines meant that Ship Visitors and Port Chaplains were no longer able to board ships and meet seafarers. A grant of £38,000 was awarded to Mission to Seafarers to enable them to transition to a virtual service and provide online welfare support and services for seafarers and their families wishing to speak to a chaplain during the COVID-19 pandemic.
