🚢 Seafarers need hope at Christmas. 🎄

Two of our #PortPartners Port Waratah Coal Services and Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group joined us yesterday to prepare Christmas packs for Seafarers.

Far from home, the only Christmas present a Seafarer receives is the one you give.

Thank you to the enthusiastic and generous teams who made it a day full of goodwill and hope!

To find out how you can get involved, please visit https://mtsnewcastle.org.au/2021-christmas-drive/ or write to us admin@mtsnewcastle.org.au

For these Seafarers, this delivery of @@dominos_au and @krispykreme and Christmas gift packs (all paid for with your donations!) was as if all their birthdays and Christmases had come at once!

Annalise from Dominos had no idea how happy the pizza she dropped into us was about to make these Seafarers, none of whom have stepped foot ashore in Newcastle since before March 2020.

As we got back in the bus to leave the Port Waratah Coal Services terminal, we could hear the singing of "Happy Birthday to You!" booming from up on deck!

Happy Birthday mate, may you get home soon!

If you'd like to give so that we can keep delivering hope, or if you'd just like to find out more, please visit https://mtsnewcastle.org.au

There's a reason we've been a little quiet online

There's a reason we've been a little quiet online recently. In partnership with NSW Health and wonderful nurses from the Hunter New England Local Health District, we've been working on something big!

Desperate Seafarers are now able to receive their doses of COVID19 vaccine in the City of Newcastle! This is an enormous win for Seafarer welfare and the humanitarian response we have been calling for throughout the pandemic.

Under the guidance of NSW Health, the Mission to Seafarers Newcastle has taken on the role of coordinating the effort to deliver vaccines to 80 seafarers over the past 3 weeks.

Our trusted role in this vital program comes after we successfully organised and vaccinated the Peruvian crew of the WINCANTON in September.

As we look to increasing availability of vaccinations to more seafarers arriving in our port, we wish to sincerely thank our #portpartners who have enthusiastically provided feedback and helped streamline the process - in particular Port of Newcastle and Port Authority of NSW, Port Waratah Coal Services, Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group and a number of local shipping agents, including NYK Line.
