Our Mayor & Councillors attend National Fisheries Memorial Day.
We would like to take a moment to commemorate the lives lost at sea from the Port of Looe and the families and friends impacted by this loss.
This weekend, our Mayor, Cllr Tony Smith and Souncillors attended the UK’s first ever National Fisheries Memorial Day on East Looe quayside.
The service, led by Revd. Ben Morgan-Lundie commemorated the fifteen lives from Looe lost fishing since 1899. Polperro Fishermen’s Choir also attended the service, leading the singing of hymns Eternal Father Strong to Save and Will Your Anchor Hold in the Storms of Life.
If you wish to support this cause you can explore the following maritime charities:

Looe Shedders, Saving your Saturday at Repair Cafe!
Today we’re celebrating Looe Shedders who, are hosting The Repair Cafe this Saturday at 10am-1pm St Martins Hall! The repair cafe is an endeavor to repair things that may otherwise be dumped from toys to small appliances and more!
The Repair Cafe is a part of Looe Shedders but they do a lot more than giving broken things a new lease of life. Their mission is to provide a community space, where people can “connect, converse and create”! Looe Shedders also aim to help people find new friends and a new purpose in life, often by working together on community projects.
They have some amazing projects upcoming so keep your eyes peeled for an update!
