Connecting seafarers 📶
Port chaplain Peter Donald from @SailorsSociety visited seafarers on board a ship in Dundee to deliver a MiFi unit.
The project supports the work of front-line welfare societies, providing a communications lifeline to many seafarers across UK ports 😊
Great effort!

I know Christmas will be financially tough for many this year, but anything you can spare for @SailorsSociety will be very gratefully received and put to good use. Thanks so much all 🙏
Seafarers are missing their Christmas to bring us ours.
Can you help more seafarers get the support they need this Christmas? Your gift could fund a call to loved ones or a helpline session if separation or anxiety gets too much.
