Fishermen's Mission

Over the years, we've supported the Fishermen's Mission through donations and fundraising activities at our Fishmongers counter. We believe this charity is especially important because it's the only UK fishermen’s charity to provide emergency support alongside practical, financial, spiritual and emotional care. The Mission offers help to all fisherman, active or retired, and their families. Fishing remains the most dangerous peacetime occupation in the UK; every year, an average of 15 fishermen are killed or seriously injured, and 45 boats are lost. The Mission is committed to improving safety on fishing vessels as well as supporting crews and their families. They provide practical and emotional support, such as helping with benefits and grants, and immediate financial assistance for those who are struggling. Learn more

Charitable Giving

Every 12 months (April-March), Greendale's Charitable Giving Committee selects community groups or charities to support. We will work with each of our chosen charities throughout the year to determine how we can best provide this support, including (but not limited to) making donations, participating in fundraising activities, providing equipment or other support, and volunteering. We also encourage our staff to volunteer their time and expertise to help our chosen charities. Organisations eligible for the Charitable Giving scheme include charities, schools and relevant community groups. Our committee will consider any requests submitted, and each year the Charitable Giving Committee will choose new organisations to support for the next 12 months. If you are part of an eligible organisation and would like it to be considered for support from Greendale's Charitable Giving scheme, please contact us.
