Raising funds for those lost on the Joanna C BM265
On the morning of the 21st November, 2020 HM Coastguard received an EPIRB alert from the FV Joanna C BM 265 after it had sunk some three nautical miles off the at Seaford near Newhaven.A mammoth search and rescue operation was launched with all local RNLI lifeboats in the area, dozens of other boats and fishing boats and coastguard helicopter.
One man, Dave Bickerstaff was found clinging to a lifebuoy and recovered by the Newhaven RNLI Lifeboat while two fishermen remained missing.
On the evening of Monday, the 23rd divers recovered the body of 26-year-old Adam Harper.
The third fisherman Robert Morley, 38, is still missing.
I'm raising money in aid of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen so they can distribute to help all those affected.
Our prayers are with those directly involved and the wider community who all have been affected in some way.
