Working as a seafarer is one of the UK's most challenging jobs and unfortunately, the number of work-related injuries are high.

Left untreated, injuries can worsen over time and result in chronic pain, and even prevent individuals from working!

That's why we work closely with therapists across the country to provide access to a UK wide , offering working seafarers access to FREE, fast track physiotherapy at a range of convenient locations.

From providing over 200 defibrillators to vessels, ports and seafarers’ centres, to supporting health checks and healthy lifestyle initiatives through , a joint initiative with The Fishermen's Mission, we’ve helped bring vital heart health support closer to the people who need it.
