Welcome to our first issue of Flagpost for 2018! It's been an exciting start to the year already, as this month we welcomed representatives from the fishing industry to the launch event of Seafarers UK’s interim Fishing for a Future report.

This timely report looks at the opportunities and challenges that UK fishing communities are facing today and you can find more about the event and the research (compiled by Cornwall Rural Community Charity and Rose Regeneration) below.

You can also read about our grant funding during our Centenary Year, as we look back on the events and achievements of 2017. And to help us continue our support for the maritime community, please consider taking part in our 2018 challenge events, two of which are highlighted below.

Best wishes,

The Fishing for a Future report involved an extensive survey of fishermen’s views on the issues impacting their lives and identified key areas of need within the UK fishing community. Read more.
