SCFS provides a service to seafarers with compassion - service with compassion is our call, our commission and our goal... For over 170 years, we have provided a lifeline to men and women, from all nations, who work at sea. Our chaplains, with your support, offer compassion, friendship and support for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs... In 1845 financial pressures caused the Church to close and Bo'sun Smith withdrew from the work, but the Society that he had founded pressed on and continued its work in a disused sugar warehouse in the Ratcliff Highway. SCFS maintained its presence in the east end of London well into the twentieth century, with its headquarters in St George Street opposite the old London dock wall.
