Groups for those affected by the Ukraine crisis
Every day our chaplains are there for seafarers affected by the fighting in Ukraine – many are thousands of miles from families, powerless to help and distraught.
Now, to help seafarers support one another through this extraordinary time, Sailors’ Society has launched three bespoke Peer-to-Peer Support Groups.
The groups allow Ukrainian and Russian seafarers to speak to other crews from their own country in their own language, while the third group is made up of seafarers from other nationalities.
Some 14.5 per cent of the world’s seafarers are Ukrainian or Russian. And up to one in five officers are Ukrainian, meaning many crews will find themselves serving under officers concerned about their country and loved ones back home.
