The Fishermen's Mission fights poverty and despair in the UK's fishing communities by providing emergency and welfare support to fishermen and their families. 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 FISHERMENS CHARITY.
