We can access a whole range of financial support for active or former fishermen and their families

The Fishermen’s Mission has a network of friends and partners who work closely with us to access one-off grants, regular grants and financial support. In an average year, we access an impressive £1.7m in grants for our clients, checking benefit entitlement, providing debt management advice, emergency grants and longer-term regular grants to support families in need.

Two people sit in front of a laptop, placed on a desk by a window dotted with rain through which you can see a boat and parts of a harbour. One of the people is wearing a high-vis yellow vest that says 'The Fishermen's Mission on the back. The other person is wearing a beanie and blue jacket. The laptop has a lot of text on it, with 'The Fishermen's Mission' logo at the top. A mobile phone is also on the desk, and the person in the beanie is handling some paperwork.

If needed, we may be able to access grants to help with funeral costs and provide bereavement support.

Our networks and partners may also be able to support with local grant providers in your area and could assist with referring you to them. We will do all we can to try and help you to improve your financial position – it is well worth getting in touch.
