Seven members of our new investments team helped make Cardiff's Mission to Seafarers ship-shape by painting its exterior.

 

Karen Davies, investment executive, explained: “We decided to do something to support the community as a team-building exercise.”

 

The mission was first built in 1866 at the Old Bute West Dock before moving to its current home at Roath Dock. It’s the oldest of its kind in the UK and still provides a range of facilities to help visiting seafarers feel at home in the port.

 

Alan Lewis, who runs the mission, said: “We’re grateful to the Finance Wales team for giving up their time. The mission looks a lot more welcoming.”
