My name is Cameron Arbuckle, I am a qualified carpenter/joiner. After being made redundant from the company I served my apprenticeship at I applied to join the mercy ships. I have always wanted to use my carpentry skills for good and I see the mercy ships as a great way to do this. I will be heading out to the ship Global Mercy for 3 months initially starting the 26 of July.

If you wish to support me while I am out on the mercy ships, feel free to donate to me here, thank you.

Globally, there are five billion people who have no access to safe, affordable surgery when they need it. Mercy Ships is working hard to plug this gap.

Mercy Ships has also trained more than 38,000 local health professionals in order to leave a legacy that lasts. www.mercyships.org.uk
