Hope Is Where the Heart Is
WHO WE ARE
Lyttelton Seafarers' Centre, is a charitable organisation devoted to supporting all seafarers while they are in the Port of Lyttelton. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of Seafarers by providing them with a safe warm place where they can belong. Whether you want to contribute with money or time, read more about our work and learn how you can make a contribution today.
WAYS WE HELP
Meaningful Work. Unforgettable Experiences
SHIP VISITING AND WI-FI DROP-OFFS
The number one thing Seafarers want to do when they get in port is contact their families and friends in their home countries. We provide free Wi-Fi connection on ships while in our port, and other pastoral care services.
SHOPPING FOR CREW
As some ships have fast turnaround and crew can't do shopping due to time constraints, we do shopping runs for their basic necessities, and have it delivered to their ship. A final list must be submitted at least 24 hours before arrival. Click here for more info.
