Mark Ashley-Miller is raising money for The Seafarers' Charity and PCC of Sherborne With Castleton
Thank you for supporting me! Update Apr 2023.
www.harbourmastersailingchallenge.co.uk
I am raising money for The Seafarers' Charity (formerly King George's Fund for Sailors) by sailing around the whole Great Britain & Ireland, attempting to visit every harbour with a Harbour Master between 2019 and 2024. Starting in Dartmouth in March 2019, I have so far sailed around GB. In 2023 I tackle The Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Ireland.
I interview each Harbour Master and record information about their harbour and their varied job and posting it on Instagram (@harbourmastersailingchallenge) as I sail along. I attempt to sail into each harbour - but where that is not possible I visit the Harbour Master on foot.
I am supporting The Seafarers' Charity in memory of my father Peter, who was in the Royal Navy. They also support men's mental health having suffered depression myself, and which I am keen to promote.
The Seafarers' Charity has been helping people in the maritime community for over 100 years, by providing practical support to seafarers "in need" and to their families. They support also support those in education or training who are preparing to work or serve at sea. The charity does this by giving grants to organisations and projects that make a real difference to people’s lives, across the Merchant Navy, Fishing Fleets, Royal Navy and Royal Marines. Last year, Seafarers' gave grants totalling £2.5 million to 60 maritime welfare charities. Seafarers' receives no government funding and is heavily dependent on public donations and legacies to maintain its grant-making programme.
10% of what I raise is being donated to St Martin's Church, Lillington, Sherborne, Dorset. I am Church Warden of this beautiful and thriving church, and in return for being released from my wardening duty for my 5 year Odyssey, Seafarers' has kindly agreed to share part of what I raise.
Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto The Seafarers' Charity and PCC of Sherborne With Castleton.
