Fundraising Permits and Payment Service Provider

The Finnish Seamen’s Church maintains seamen’s churches and carries out christian, social, cultural, diaconal, and international work among seafarers as well as Finns living abroad or on the move internationally. The purpose of the work is to support and promote, in a holistic way, the well-being of seafarers and Finns abroad.

With the funds raised, we maintain our services at our locations, such as activity groups, events, and conversational support, and cover the costs of ship visits, port work, and chaplaincy services for seafarers.

The Seamen’s Church offers you the opportunity to be part of our work. Even a small donation makes a big difference.
