Year of the Seafarer

International maritime welfare charity the Sailors’ Society is backing the IMO Year of the Seafarer campaign with a new fundraising drive which is asking for just £1 for every one of the 375,000 seafarer the charity aims to support in 2010.

All donations will be contributed to the international support network the Sailors’ Society has developed to enrich and enhance the lives of the world’s 1.2 million seafarers, offering practical help, emotional and spiritual support as well as financial assistance and family liaison.
