Support The Matthew!
A beautiful ship like The Matthew requires a lot of looking after to keep it in tip-top condition and seaworthy.
As The Matthew of Bristol Trust doesn’t receive any public or private funding, we rely hugely on the generosity of the general public to help us keep the ship afloat!
All funds raised by the charity are used to maintain The Matthew so that you can continue to visit it, sail on it and learn about its rich history.
Your support is appreciated.
VolunteerING on The Matthew!
Do you have an interest in Bristol’s maritime history and want to get involved with one of its iconic ships?
Sailing experience is not necessary, but you would need to spare us a day of your time each week, have a willingness to ‘learn the ropes’, and enjoy talking to the general public.
