The Big Dippers!

Get Dipping to Support UK Fishing Families.

By Ali Godfrey

This October marks the first ever national fundraising campaign by the Fishermen’s Mission, and we’re inviting communities across the UK to take the plunge in support of struggling fishing families.

With many facing financial hardship, isolation, and the dangers of life at sea, the charity’s work has never been more vital. That’s why, in the lead-up to National Support Day on 14th October, the Fishermen’s Mission is launching its Big Dip Fundraising Appeal - a fun way for people to show their support for those who work in the UK’s fishing industry.

There are different ways people can support the campaign

· Take a dip in the sea, river, a loch, or even a paddling pool during 7 to 14 October!

· Set up a personal or team fundraising page linked to the  Big Dip appeal

· Make a donation to the  Big Dip appeal.

· Share your dip photos on social media using #FishMishBigDip and #DipPics2025
