Who We Are
The Marine Society & Sea Cadets (MSSC), a charity formed in 2004 from a merger of The Marine Society and the Sea Cadet Association, exists to offer seafarers and prospective seafarers a range of services to enhance their well-being and lifestyle.
The work of MSSC in support of professional seafarers has evolved over 250 years, reflecting the experiences of the UK’s maritime fortunes.
The Marine Society has provided guidance, life-long learning opportunities and support for professional seafarers from all the sea services since before the time of Nelson.
The Sea Cadets is the nation’s most enduring maritime youth charity, with 400 units throughout the UK and 15,000 young people engaged in learning nautical and life skills.
The combination of these two powerful brands makes a potent force in the promotion of maritime careers.
