“We are deeply honoured to receive The Fishermen’s Mission Partnership Award and express our heartfelt gratitude to The Fishermen’s Mission for their tireless dedication to supporting fishermen, their families, and communities. At XTRATUF, we share a commitment to those who brave the elements at sea, and this partnership is a testament to our shared values. Together, we stand stronger, ensuring that fishermen have the support they need, both on and off the water.”
In the first year, the initiative raised £1,211, which equates to:
- 48.5 hours of a Port Welfare officer.
- Or approximately 50 mental health referrals.
- Or 50 Grant applications for financial aid.
- Or approximately 25 emergency Supermarket food vouchers to combat the oversubscribed food banks.
