Philosophy
The Society aims to provide in its Home secure
and comfortable accommodation for retired or disabled seafarers
(with the definition stretched broadly to encompass port workers
etc) and their widows and dependants. If room is available, it may also admit
at its own discretion retired or disabled persons with no seafaring
connections at all.
"THEY'VE DONE THEIR BIT, NOW IT's YOUR CHANCE TO DO
YOURS! PLEASE SUPPORT US IN OUR MISSION TO HELP THOSE SEAFARERS
EITHER DOWN ON THEIR LUCK, IN NEED OF HELP OR ACCOMMODATION, OR
JUST WISHING TO SPEND THE EVENING OF THEIR LIVES IN THE COMPANY
OF OTHERS WITH SEAFARING BACKGROUNDS"
Chief Executive: Commander Brian Boxall-Hunt OBE Royal Navy

Now and then there comes an impulse,
To the heart of every man,
To perform a kindly action,
Or assist some noble plan;
But too often - there's the pity!
He, procrastinating. cries;
"I will do the deed tomorrow;"
And alas! the impulse dies.
So, Good Friend, if you are prompted,
When perusing this appeal,
To assist our earnest efforts
(For our needs are very real),
Please address your contribution,
As above, without delay;
Lest your good intention vanish
With the things of yesterday.
Extracted from the 41st Annual Report 1908
