The Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society is delighted to announce the formal launch of its Isle of Man initiative on Tynwald Day, the national day of the Isle of Man. As Trustees of this independent award charity, we are thrilled to begin our engagement with the island.
This significant development comes as the Society may now issue awards for acts of bravery, safety initiatives and lifesaving in the Isle of Man. The announcement deliberately coincides with Tynwald Day 2025, celebrating the island’s rich heritage and autonomous governance.
“Tynwald Day represents the perfect occasion to formally announce our initiative for the Isle of Man,” said Chris Riley Chair and Trustee of the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society. “The Isle of Man’s rich maritime heritage make this partnership a natural extension of our mission to recognise acts of bravery at sea and on land.”
Established in 1839, the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society has a distinguished history of recognising individuals who voluntarily risk their lives to save others. While maintaining our defined jurisdiction in the North West of England, this acknowledges the significant maritime connection between Liverpool and the Isle of Man that has existed for centuries.
The Society looks forward to working closely with the Isle of Man authorities, emergency services and first responders, as well as maritime organisations, to ensure that acts of bravery receive the recognition they deserve.
