At Seawork we are always looking for ways to support seafarers around the globe, so are delighted to announce Mercy Ships as our charity partner. This international charity relies on skilled volunteers, with marine or medical training, in partnership with developing nations, to deliver accessible, free surgery and medical care for those in unjust poverty and urgent need.  We hope that this partnership raises awareness of the amazing work that these hospital ships and their volunteers crew achieve.”

Each year, more than 3,000 volunteers from over 60 countries serve on board the world’s two largest civilian hospital ships and only 50% of these are medics. Mercy Ships are currently urgently recruiting maritime officers, as well engineers and hospital support services.
