Organisers say fishermen often face dental decay and high blood pressure issues.
SeaFit, which is run by Fishermen’s Mission and Seafarers Hospital Society, will visit Redcar for the first time on Monday between 10:00 and 15:00 BST.
Blood pressure checks, mental health support, weight management and smoking advice will be available, as well as free financial information.SeaFit manager Carol Elliot said fishermen often face issues with high blood pressure and dental decay because of sugary drinks they use to keep themselves awake.Ms Elliot said dental charities told her fishermen's teeth, in general, were much worse than that of homeless people they also support.
"The lifestyle is very difficult because if they need to be at sea and they're working shifts or working different patterns, they very often drink a lot of the sugary drinks, or eat food that's perhaps not as healthy as it should be, to keep themselves going."The SeaFit event will be held on the Esplanade in Redcar, opposite the Zetland café.
North East England regional officer for The Fishermen's Mission Peter Dade said there had been an occasion where a fisherman got a health check and was immediately taken to hospital because of their high blood pressure.Model boat club unable to use lake after leak
