Outcomes

We intend that the Centre should be an enjoyable Christian environment for all seafarers and staff.

The Centre is a place where seafarers can relax and unwind away from the ship. They are made to feel welcome by the friendly staff and volunteer helpers. Of paramount importance there is a Chapel for worship services and private prayer. There is also a bar, shop, recreation area for tabletop games, TV room and a quiet room to sit and write home. In addition to telephones, the internet, fax, currency exchange and mail facilities, there is a large library of books, Bibles in various languages, foreign papers and magazines.

There is a 15-seater bus, driven by paid and unpaid staff, for ferrying seafarers from their ships to and from the Centre. The current bus was purchased with a grant made by Trinity House.
