QVSR, the Seamen’s Mission of the Methodist Church, was first established in 1843 to support seafarers and their families in the Port of London.

Additionally, QVSR manages seafarers’ centres based along the River Thames and provides support to seafarers coming into the Port of Tilbury and DP World London Gateway. In 2022 QVSR will be expanding its work to support seafarers in the ports of Bristol, Felixstowe and Immingham.
