Setting yourself up for success

We have a dedicated and motivated team at the Seafarers Hospital Society that is responsive to the needs of our beneficiaries.

The Seafarers Hospital Society offers a selection of free publications which we hope will be of interest to you.

The Seafarers Hospital Society was founded in 1821 as the Seamen’s Hospital Society, by a group of philanthropists in response to the increasing number of homeless and impoverished seafarers living on the streets of London after the Napoleonic wars.
