The Lighthouse Seafarers Mission issued new orange drawstring bags to the crews of each Trawler that is licenced to fish in Falklands waters, some of these are still to be issued due to the disrupted season but everyone will get one eventually. Each bag can be easily seen and is splash proof and has drawstring handles so can be worn on your back, they can be used to bring electrical items or toiletries and clothes ashore even if they have to climb down ladders.

Each bag has a little something for the fishermen and information leaflets about what the Mission can offer them during their shore leave and how to contact them if they need anything.

It was lovely to get some photographs of the crew’s with the bags to share.
