What's on
The Nautilus Welfare Fund frequently runs events for those living in Mariners’ Park and the wider seafaring community.
There is a 'set menu' of weekly activities and many take place in the various function and games rooms at the Trinity House Hub and Seafarers UK Centenary Wing extension, as well as the Care Home.
As retired seafarers are often male, there are a number of special men's health and wellbeing events, designed specifically for older gentlemen.

Men's health and social activities
As most retired seafarers living in Mariners' Park are male, the Nautilus Welfare Fund runs a special programme of events aimed specifically at improving and maintaining the health and wellbeing of men.
The men's health and wellbeing project is a programme of events targeted at male retired seafarers living in and around Mariners' Park. Launched in September 2013, the project was originally made possible by funding from the Maritime Charities Funding Group and a partnership with AgeUK Wirral.
