12th December – Book Your Place at the UK’s Biggest Employment Event for Officers

The OA Employment Symposium in London is essential for people wanting a new career after being an officer.

The event brings together serving and former officers, key employers, industry experts and OA network contact. The day involves networking, break-out sessions and talks, covering industry insights and career advice.

If you attend just one event during transition make sure it is the OA Employment Symposium. It will help to increase your knowledge and expand your network. The events are always popular, and places are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Storybook Waves book club in a box

A new initiative by the Aggie Weston’s Storybook Waves project has secured funding from the Annington Trust of over £40,000 for the next three years. Launching at the end of September 2017, the ‘Storybook Waves Book Club in a Box’ initiative seeks to relieve the anxiety of separation that families experience by connecting them through books and a nationwide network of Book Clubs.

Held in community houses at 21 base port areas, the Book Clubs will generally be hosted by Aggie Weston’s Pastoral Workers and will run monthly during term time. Aimed primarily at families of deployed personnel, The Book Clubs will seek to bring families together for fun-filled activity sessions based around the theme of a popular children’s book. While children play, parents can socialise and Pastoral Workers will be on hand to provide support and a listening ear to anyone struggling with the challenges that deployment can bring.

Been involved in seafaring? Join a telephone group with other Seafarers

“It’s free and fun, just like chatting in the mess, and you can do it from the comfort of your home.”

Seafarers Link is celebrating its tenth anniversary with an ambitious target of creating an additional 10 telephone friendship groups for former Seafarers and dependants.

The project hosts free conference calls for former seafarers and their families in a partnership between Community Network and both SFUK and MN Fund. It was devised in response to recommendations in a major report on Seafarers welfare, Supporting Seafarers and Their Families: The Challenges for the Future, commissioned by Maritime Charities Group in 2007.
