Imagine getting on a ship in the Philippines dressed in shorts and t-shirt, only to find yourself transiting freezing Arctic waters four months later. Seafarers often set out on new contracts not knowing where their ship will end up, and they may need to stock up on warm clothes to see them through some of the chillier parts of the globe.
We are always grateful for gifts of warm knitted items which our chaplains can pass on to seafarers in need. If you can supply balaclavas, scarves, gloves and hats in any colours, we would love to hear from you. Click here for some suggested knitting patterns.
Please send your knitted items to:
