To encourage pupils at Bearwood College, Pangbourne College, The Royal Hospital School Ipswich, and the London Nautical School to become involved with maritime affairs by performing at the service. To contribute to the upkeep of St. Paul's Cathedral.
The Annual National Service for Seafarers (ANSS), organised by The Seafarers’ Charity and Trinity House, will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday, 8 October 2025.
This year, we also mark the 120th anniversary of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA). Staffed by civilian Merchant Seafarers, the RFA supports the Royal Navy in combat operations, counter-piracy missions, disaster relief, and evacuations worldwide.
The ANSS is open to all, and it's free to attend. Seafarers from all countries, faiths, and backgrounds, as well as those who support them from ashore, are encouraged to join us in this solemn celebration.

We look forward to seeing you there.
