- For almost 150 years, the Fishermen's Mission have stood beside fishing communities across the country, offering practical help, community, and faith-rooted care when it’s needed most. They see a fishing industry where everyone feels supported, valued, and safe, no matter the size of their boat or the waters they work in. We chat with Peter Dade of Fishermans Mission on their history, their present state and their future. https://www.fishermensmission.org.uk/about-us/ 


Talk in Terns is - A deliberate antidote to social media polarisation, focusing instead on shared humanity and the diverse lives that weave the fabric of our community. Join us to connect, listen, and gain a deeper understanding of your neighbours, from artists and musicians to historians and fishermen—anyone with a story to tell.
