XTRATUF® & THE FISHERMEN’S MISSION

We are honoured to be working with The Fishermen’s Mission – the only national charity supporting our fishermen, their families, and communities, since 1881.

The Fishermen’s Mission reaches out to both active and retired fishermen by providing practical, spiritual, and financial support – as well as a vital emergency response service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The support provided is varied, including financial assistance, emotional support for bereaved families, welfare visits to combat loneliness as well as emergency responses to injured, ill or shipwrecked fishermen.

To show our support to the fishermen who risk their lives to bring fish to our shores, we will be making a donation from each pair of our Commercial Range boots sold.
