Would you consider maritime as a career choice? A major role of the Trust is to engage with children from an early age to show them that opportunities exist within the maritime industry.

Have you finished your Christmas shopping? If you've still got bits to get (and hurry, last post for first class is the 21st!) please consider using easyfundraising to raise much-needed funds for SS Freshspring - it won't cost you anything. More here: easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/steamsh…

Throwback Thursday - a look at Freshspring's archived photos... It's hard to picture this scene in December, right before Christmas!

Please consider leaving a legacy to SS Freshspring in your Will. It will allow to continue our heritage work long into the future, preserving the ship so that we can inspire the next generation of maritime careers. Contact us to find out more: ssfreshspring.co.uk/contact

After a successful Crowdfunding Campaign completed in January of this year, Freshspring now has an awning ready to use as soon as restrictions allow. The awning provides an undercover area on Freshspring's foredeck, making a range of different activities possible on board.

Merry Christmas to you all, from everyone at the SS Freshspring Trust. Thank you for your continued support of our small charity throughout one of our toughest years.
