Sailors’ Children’s Society is a national charity that helps families rebuild their lives. We provide life changing support to families of seafarers experiencing the death of a family member, diagnosis of a life limiting or terminal illness or family breakdown.

All the families we support are also in economic crisis and need a helping hand to get back on their feet. We provide respite breaks to our families giving them precious time away together making happy memories.

Our Family Support Officers provide one to one emotional and practical support.

We also ensure that all the children have school uniforms, funding for school trips and extracurricular activities, and suitable warm clothing for winter: a coat and shoes as well as monthly support grants to ensure they are well fed and warm at home in the wintertime. 

Sailors’ Children’s Society Christmas Appeal 2023

Sailors’ Children’s Society is supporting almost 500 children living throughout the UK with long-term emotional and financial support. Their families are in economic crisis as well as emotional crisis because of a bereavement, diagnosis of a terminal or life-limiting illness or family breakdown. Christmas is an especially difficult time for the children we support.

You can help us make Christmas a little brighter by making a donation to our Christmas fundraiser allowing us to provide our families with Christmas dinners and a gift for each child as well as a small grant to help pay for gas and electricity over the Christmas period. Thank you for any donation you feel you can give as it will ensure lots of smiling faces come Christmas morning.
