Gifts in Memory

Celebrate the life of someone special with a gift to the Fishermen’s Mission

Your donation can stand as a tribute

Losing someone you love is never easy. Giving in their memory can be a way to honour their life while helping others who are facing difficult times.

A donation made in memory allows us to provide fishermen and their families with practical help and compassionate support when it is needed most.

Here to help

If you are an active or former fisherman, or a fisherman’s dependant: our support is always available to you.

We can offer a listening ear, practical guidance, or help with what happens next following a bereavement. Call us free today on 0800 634 1020.

“Grandad was a Lowestoft fisherman, and we wanted to do something in his memory. A parachute jump seemed like a great idea. Fishing was in grandad’s blood so raising money for the Fishermen’s Mission was the natural choice. It was an amazing experience!”
