    SEAFARERS HOSPITAL SOCIETY 

    The Society assists seafarers and their dependants in need by making grants to qualifying individuals, as well as to selected organisations. Applications for individual assistance may be made at any time
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 60 years
