The Fishermen’s Charity

The Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen (the Fishermen’s Mission) provides care, compassion and support to working, retired and disabled fishermen and their families. Deep-sea fishing is dangerous and unpredictable. Hardship and tragedy are facts of everyday life in the UK’s fishing communities. It is to the Fishermen’s Mission that fishermen and their families turn when they need financial, practical and emotional support. We are the only national charity specifically providing this care; we are THE Fishermen’s Charity.

“Working as a fisherman is a dangerous and lonely job that very few people comprehend. The Fishermen’s Mission makes sure it knows the hardship fishermen and their families face and therefore exactly how to help them”. Rick Stein, Mission Vice-Patron and restaurateur
