Story
I'm the Director of Business Development and Deputy Chief Executive of the Fishermen's Mission. I am pledging (hoping!) to cover 50 miles to help the Fishermen's Mission reach their 900 mile goal because we must reach out to our fishermen if we are to ensure that we can continue to eat British Fish and to support the communities that are built around the fishing industry. Fishing is already the most dangerous and precarious professions, with many pre-existing challenges that are only exacerbated by this health crisis. The Fishermen's Mission provides a lifeline for struggling fishermen and is the only national charity that works solely to help fishermen and their families. A contribution of as little as £1 could help chip into a weekly shop for a struggling family. At a time when we are unable to host physical fundraising events, it is digital fundraisers such as this that will help us help our fishermen through struggles, bereavement and ensure their physical and mental well-being. So please support my fundraising page, and the work that the Fishermen's Mission does!
