Our Committee Members, Trustees and Honorary Officers give their time on a voluntary basis. This keeps the costs of running the Marine Guild to a minimum and allows all surplus funds to be used for our beneficiaries.
The object of The Guild is to provide financial support to necessitous and deserving persons and their families who are connected to the maritime & maritime-related industries as well as supporting youths in marine-related education or similar pursuits.
Our first Annual Banquet was held in 1899 at which time Chas. McArthur, Esq. was our Chairman. Apart from breaks due to two world wars and the recent Covid-19 pandemic, our annual banquets have been taking place for over 100 years. Follow the link for details of our past Chairmen.
The Liverpool Marine Engineers' & Naval Architects' Guild is a registered charity which operates under a set of rules. The 'Rules of the Guild' have been approved by The Charity Commission and are availble to download on the link below.
