About this cause

The Fishermen's Mission in Mallaig provides various forms of support to working fishermen and their families, to retired fishermen and widows. This takes many forms: providing fishermen with a safe place to go for shelter and basic facilities. To supporting families through a bereavement. We to provide emergency support 24/7 at sea. for example a boat sinking, we provide, accommodation, clothing, ensure they are seen to by medical profession by arranging appointments and transport. Sometimes this can lead to financial support but every situation is different and each case is dealt with confidentially, quickly and as professionally as possible. We have access to other key agencies who we can refer. We are trying to combat loneliness, which is a big issue within one group we work with.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Fishing has always been such a big part of our community and so most people in the area have connections to the industry. We have huge numbers of retired fishermen/widows in the area who we are already support and so this would hopefully encourage others and we could do a bit more outreach work. The fishermen bring many skills to our area and i am sure people would be keen to support them.
