Kicking off the @iswan_org 2023 seminar by hearing directly from seafarers about life at sea. #iswanseminar2023 #seafarerswelfare

It’s been a busy weekend of Remembrance events for @MNWBUK because we owe our freedom to those who sacrificed everything. #seafarers #WeWillRememberThem – at Salisbury, England

Today is a day for reflection and remembrance so I pay tribute to my grandfather, William Ross, who was a trawlerman conscripted into the Royal Navy, and my uncle, Norman Rivers, a Lancaster Bomber rear gunner both gave their lives in WWII. #LestWeForget – at Kensington, London

LEST WE FORGET 😔 Tonight I will be representing @MNWBUK at the @PoppyLegion Festival of Remembrance @RoyalAlbertHall with MN cadets who will be taking part. Great event but I’m mindful that many MN seafarers died so that we could be free. #RemembranceDay #seafarers – at Salisbury, England

MAKING A GLOBAL DIFFERENCE 🥇 🏆 Yesterday, I was at the @ilo with @MNWBUK chair, Andrew Cassels to share our experience as the UK National Seafarers’ Welfare Board and umbrella charity for maritime welfare. Together with our constituents, we can make a global difference. – at Geneva, Switzerland

A great welcome at Waterloo Station this morning en route to @MNWBUK’s Council of Management meeting. As we prepare for Remembrance Day on 11/11 we remember Merchant Navy seafarers who gave their lives so we could have freedom. #lestweforget #merchantnavy – at Salisbury, England

Lovely to meet you today @Su_Pollard and my daughter is definitely coveting your pink boots! Look forward to seeing you at Bournemouth Pavilion soon! 😃

THANK YOU, @IMOHQ! What a fantastic evening celebrating World Maritime Day ⛴️ . Thank you for inviting @MNWBUK to this event. It was so good to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. @tradewindsnews @NicGoodmaritime @lloydsregister @WPSP_IAPH #worldmaritimeday

The team @MNWBUK were delighted to receive this prestigious award for Best Commercial Collaboration | Thanks to @VodafoneUK and our constituents for connecting Ukrainian seafarers with their families back home during the conflict! #connectingfamilies #ukraine #seafarers – at London, England

Excellent first day at the @ICMASecretariat Global Members Meeting with focus on welfare funding, digital support and developments within societies. Good to see a number of @MNWBUK constituents in attendance. – at Antwerp, Belgium

One of the highlights of @LISWOfficial for me was seeing Spider-Man playing the piano at Canary Wharf Station! #LISW23 #lisw2023

Really helpful catch up with @PK_Trathen at the @MUKSolent Investment Showcase today. @LISWOfficial is so so good for the whole maritime sector. #LISW23

Very good to hear from @PennyMordaunt about the UK Government’s commitment to maritime at the @MUKSolent Investment Showcase #LISW23

And we’re off!

Great views from the top of 1 York Place as we get ready for the @MUKSolent Investment Showcase. Thanks for inviting @MNWBUK! #LISW23 #lisw2023

What a special evening on board the Golden Hinde and lovely to catch up with trustee Louise Sara, Rebecca Bridgen and David Haddacks. Thank you @IoM_Maritime and Lee Clarke for hosting in such a wonderful setting.

What a great evening on board the THV Galatea. Lovely to see @NatashaBarley, Vikki Muir and Martin Atherton. Thank you @trinityhouse_uk for inviting @MNWBUK and hosting us so well! #lisw2023

Despite the 26° heat, it was a privilege for @MNWBUK to attend the Merchant Navy Day service at Trinity House and gardens today to commemorate the MN lives lost during conflict. Many thanks to The Merchant Navy Association for organising today’s event. #wewillrememberthem
