Things are tough right now for many families, including fishermen and other seafarers. The last thing you need is for the fridge to pack in! Thankfully, the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society has launched a new Household Appliance Fund to take some pressure off. It provides low-income seafarers with essentials like cookers, fridges, freezers and washing machines - making life at home that bit easier. It’s quick, easy, and there for every person who works at sea. If you receive Universal Credit (or similar), the fund can cover the full cost of a new appliance. Reach out to our friends at the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society today. (fb)

Noticed a lump or pain that’s getting worse, not better? Don’t ignore it. Sarcoma is rare but it happens. Early signs can include a lump that’s growing or sore, or bone pain that doesn’t ease up. It’s easy to brush it off. But getting things checked could make all the difference. Through C Aware Fish Mish with Macmillan Cancer Support, we’re working to help fishermen and their families spot cancer symptoms early and take action: but it’s easy for anyone to check yourself, know your body, and seek advice if something has changed.
