About

Fleetwood MVS one of the newest units of the national charity the Maritime Volunteer Service. The charity helps to train its members and members of the community in the arts of the sea; including Seamanship, Navigation, Engineering and Communication whilst also working within the community.

------------

Maritime heritage is strong here in Fleetwood and the aim of the unit is to maintain the maritime skills in the area by supporting events and offering training opportunities to those that require them.

------------

The unit is still only in its second year of operation so recruitment, publicity and fundraising are key. We are working to get these things underway as quickly as possible whilst setting the foundations for many years to come.

What We Do

Training

MVS is primarily a training organisation. Our members share their skills and learn from each other during the course of a training pathway.

Fundraising & Events

As a charity we are constantly fundraising and one of the best ways to do so is to attend events. This year, our members are attending events both locally and nationally with other nearby units.

Community Support

Currently as a unit, we are focusing on getting ourselves into a suitable position to be able to offer the community support as we would like. This includes maintaining the Curlew - the MVS national training vessel for the North.
