Notes To Editors
The Corporation of Trinity House
As the UK’s largest self-funded maritime charity, The Corporation of Trinity House donated approximately £6.5m to charitable causes in the financial year ending in March 2013 - of which over £2m went to supporting the Trinity House Hub at Mariners’ Park Estate.
The safety of shipping and the wellbeing of seafarers have been the prime concerns of the Corporation ever since Trinity House was granted a Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1514.
Today Trinity House has three distinct functions. It is:
-
the General Lighthouse Authority (GLA) for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar. The remit is to provide aids to navigation to assist the safe passage of a huge variety of vessels through some of the busiest sea-lanes in the world.
-
a charitable organisation dedicated to the safety, welfare and training of mariners.
-
a Deep Sea Pilotage Authority providing expert navigators for ships trading in Northern European waters.
