The bond experienced by seafarers is quickly regained as evidenced by the humour and camaraderie shared on the calls. Great stories are commonplace!
Anyone with a seafaring background can join a group including former Merchant Navy, Royal Marines, Deep Sea Fisherman, retired Royal Navy, WRNS and RNA members, or indeed anyone else who has served or worked at sea including spouses, partners, family members and carers with seafaring connections. During a call you can share and enjoy conversations about memories, or as a partner or family member of someone who spent their career away at sea.
Connecting to a phone group is simple. An operator will call you, you pick up your telephone, and you then join the call. You can use a landline or your mobile phone and there is no charge. All calls are free for participants.
The calls occur every two weeks, at an agreed time, and allow participants to enjoy up to an hour of group conversation. All calls are facilitated by our trained volunteers, making them safe and friendly to take part in. Why not share your memories of the sea together in a talking communities group?
