THE Lighthouse Seafarers’ Mission has been organising concerts for crews and is hosting a carol service this year.

Paul Cave, Port chaplain, says his group of mandarin-speaking seafarers play games with crew members on board ships who dock at the Port of Tilbury and also perform gospel-style songs.

Paul says says a programme of Christmas carols will be performed in the coming weeks.
