New Hub for Liverpool Seafarers in Eastham

Liverpool Seafarers Centre located on Crosby Road Seaforth providing welfare support to Seafarers has opened a new Hub in Eastham located at the Queen Elizabeth Second Dock.  The purpose of the facility is to provide Welfare Support to those seafarers berthed on the Manchester Ship Canal side of the Mersey.  The Hub provides quicker access to the facilities as opposed to the long trip from Eastham to Seaforth.
 
The Lord-Lieutenant officially opened the facility.  Among others present were:
 

High Sheriff
Lord Mayor of Liverpool
Deputy Mayor of Wirral
Mayor of Sefton
Mrs Pamela Brown DL, representing the Trustees of the Seafarers Centre, who gave the address.
The Vicar of St Mary's Eastham who conducted the blessing, the Revd Beth Glover.

Representatives of: 

Peel Ports  who bequeathed the building
Mersey River Pilots
Merchant Navy
Merseyside Port Police
Members of the Port Health Authority


A cheque was presented to the Seafarers' Centre from funds raised by the Mersey River Pilots at their 250th Dinner in 2016 and from donations made by the Lead River Pilot in charge of the Three Queen’s Visit.
 
The photographs above include one of two Philippine Seafarers who had just arrived at the Queen Elizabeth Second Dock.  They were invited to the event at very short notice.
