Centres for Seafarers was an ecumenical collaboration between The Apostleship of the Sea, The Sailors Society and The Mission to Seafarers. It was a registered UK charity formed in 2006 and dissolved on 2 April 2019.

It provided visiting seafarers a place to rest and relax and allow them time away from their ships whilst docked. Games, books, food and drink and also chaplains and a place to worship were available to visiting seafarers in two ports throughout the UK.
