🦀Beautiful B**r was the setting for Sunday's annual Harvest of the Sea Service. Visitors from Brixham have always been welcomed to B**r Congregational Church with tea, crab sandwiches and cake and Sunday, was no exception.

The full moon was stunning across east Devon - there was a period of calm from the storms.

Well done to Kim Aplin and his helpers for decorating the church so splendidly. Thank you to everyone who attended and purchased our Fishermen's Mission Christmas cards and calendars.

Sadly, fishermen are at a significantly increased risk of developing skin cancer due to long hours at sea and high levels of occupational sun exposure, with limited access to routine dermatological care.

This 3 hour clinic provides skin cancer screening & skin health awareness clinics for Fishermen. They will help identify potential skin cancers early, and promote awareness within the local fishing community about the risks of harmful levels of UV exposure, and how you can stay skin safe at sea!

🐟🎉 Happy 90th Birthday, Jackie Warren! 🎉🐟

Today we’re raising a glass/cup of tea to one of the Fishermen's Mission very dear friends here in Brixham. Jackie turns 90, and we couldn’t let the day pass without saying a heartfelt thank you.

Over the years retired fisherman, Jackie has lovingly made so many beautiful items from rope, each one crafted by hand and generously given to us to auction. His famous decorated walking sticks have probably caught your eye as he goes for his daily walk around Brixham! Every knot has helped to support fishermen and their families across our community.

Jackie, thank you for your kindness, wise counsel, your skill and your faithful friendship and laughter during outings. We feel blessed to know you, and we hope today is filled with family, friends, laughter, cake and plenty of cheer.

Wishing you a wonderful day and many more fair winds ahead.

With love and gratitude from all of us at the Fishermen’s Mission in Devon 💙

Memorial Details
The family of Michael have asked the Fishermen's Mission Devon to lead a Memorial Service to celebrate his life. This will be held on the quayside on Tuesday 13 October, 2026 at 2pm.

Due to unpredictable weather, if it rains, Brixham Fish Market have given permission to use the BTA Meeting room. This will be updated on the day.

On behalf of the family I would like to thank everyone for the kind messages they have received since Michael's passing.

I would also like to thank Tor Bay Harbour Authority & Beaches and Brixham Fish Market for supporting me within a short time period to allow his family to come together with Brixham and our fishing community to give thanks for Michael's life.

Weather update 13.10.26 - The Service will take place on the quayside. Please enter the quay through the right entrance.
