In the charity's own words
HopeShips is a mental health and well-being chaplaincy project, based on the Old Quay in Newlyn Harbour. We open the "Fishermen's" Rest for coffee, company and counselling. We run activities such as splicing and rope work, we even have a sewing machine. We have rescued some old boats, tidied them up and passed them on, combating loneliness and isolation. We are training to take people sailing.
