About RLSOI

The RLSOI story

Since 1869, the Royal Liverpool Seamen’s Orphan Institution has dedicated itself to the welfare of children who have lost their seafaring parents. Our mission is to ensure these children receive not only basic needs but also a comprehensive education to help them build a bright future.

The Trustees are responsible for the Governance of the Society. Collectively they bring professional experience from the Merchant Navy, Legal, Marine Insurance, Fund Management and International Logistics. Each year the Trustees approve and sign off the Institutions Report and Accounts, a copy of which is sent to the Charity Commission once it has been adopted at our Annual General Meeting.

RLSOI today

The work of the Institution continues today from offices in Liverpool where regular committee meetings are held to discuss the progress of the children, approval of grants, considering the financial aspects and formulation of plans to implement, still further, the purpose of the Institution.

There is a small team who put into practice the decisions taken at the committee meetings, and the team pays regular visits to families throughout the UK to learn of the many educational successes the beneficiaries have achieved.

It has become clear that despite Government payments there is, and probably always will be, a need for the Institution, in helping to resolve the fears and anxieties of widows The Royal Liverpool Seamen’s Orphan Institution is here to help you with each application considered on its own merit. You have nothing to lose by making that application and we know the children will have everything to gain.
