FISH was set up in 2007 to raise money for a statue to celebrate the fishing heritage of Brixham, Devon. Brixham is known as the mother port of trawling and has links with many fishing ports around the world.

Tales of heroism and loss are many, from wrecks to miraculous rescues in great storms. Fishing continues to be at the heart of this historic harbour town. By purchasing this calendar you help erect a statue in honour of the fishermen, those of whom were lost or buried at sea, their families, their heritage and their home port, Brixham. The three meter bronze statue will be based on an etching by Arthur Briscoe, who drew fishermen at sea in the early 1900's, and will be sculpted by Elisabeth Hadley of Brixham.

To follow the rise of the statue, find Fish Storm on Facebook or on Virgin Giving. Registered Charity Number: 1135142
