The Shefarers of Ipswich Project - The Worshipful Company of Shipwrights

In June 2023 the Education and Charity Committee supported an application from the Spill Festival and awarded a grant of £1,000 to support the Shefarers of Ipswich project. The objectives of the project were:

Profiling and advocating for local women in the maritime sector
Forging new local networks for women living and working on the water
Seeding new mentoring relationships and employment pathways for young women considering maritime careers
