Oliver trained with his dad and then took part in the Junior Great South Run, raising just under £150 for us. He had a lovely sunny day and proudly took his medal into school to show his friends the next day.

Karen, Caz, Melanie and Angie
Karen Harding, Caz Harms, Melanie Bagwell and Angie Elshaw did a half marathon around Portsmouth. For three of them it was their first half marathon. They all crossed the finishing line with a big smile on their faces. All their training had really paid off – they did us proud!

Seafarers UK
Seafarers UK are proud to have supported the Naval Children’s Charity almost without interruption since both charities have been in existence. The work of the charity in ensuring that real need is met for children of Naval and RFA families, whether it be financial, health, education, respite or bereavement is incredible – often making a profound impact for families in difficult circumstances.
Seafarers UK is a charity that has been helping people in the maritime community for over 100 years, by providing vital support to seafarers in need and their families. We do this by giving grants to organisations and projects that make a real difference to people’s lives, across the Merchant Navy, Fishing Fleets, Royal Navy and Royal Marines. in 2019 we awarded 53 grants totalling £2.2m+ to 43 maritime welfare charities.
A thank you
I had no idea this level of support was available but it has helped lift a huge weight from my shoulders. Time spent with my son can now be enjoyed to its fullest extent due to release of pressure, stress and anxiety. I am overwhelmed by the support I have been given.
Bry, Clare and Daniel
Bry Rosary, Clare Smith and Daniel Tregarthen took part in the Asics 10K run around London. Bry and Clare raised £404.36 and Daniel raised £283.20. They looked great in our t’shirts and running tops.
A grateful mum
One of our mums has been in hospital a long way from home, we have helped with helping her son see her during this time. Her son has special needs so it was very difficult for him to understand why mum was away and to cope with not seeing her. She wrote this note to thank us.
“Last weekend’s visit. J (Son) saw me standing and taking a few steps with aids. He got very emotional as he cannot remember me walking it has been 6 years. J being able to visit me at weekends whilst I am in a specialist hospital in London over 120 miles from home. I have been here since the 1st July. Hopefully but not confirmed yet I will be home end Sept/Oct this year. J became very withdrawn as he could only come to visit once a month due to financial constraints. Since being awarded this grant he has become happier, engaging again, joining in on thing’s at home and looking forward to coming to see me at the weekends. It’s wonderful to see my son and husband each week but more amazing to see him happy again. Thank you.”
