Future

Seafarers UK gives grants to Maritime Youth organisations and projects where the focus is on providing young people with the training needed for a potential career at sea.

In representing the ‘future’, the charity is supporting a Marine Engineering Pathway Project (see details below). It also aims to raise increased funds in support of its work with other Maritime Youth and Education & Training projects and organisations.

Last year Seafarers UK awarded £355,511 in grant funding to help 21,941 young people access necessary training and education courses.

Your support will help future seafarers safely navigate their lives at sea. Please donate today.
