FiSH started in Mortlake and East Sheen through the local churches in the early 1960's. Barnes FiSH followed a year later. In 2000 the two schemes amalgamated to make a bigger stronger organisation, with a salaried co-ordinator and an office base. As a voluntary community care scheme it has thrived and with your help will continue to go from strength to strength. Since our simple beginning we now have seven hundred clients and two hundred volunteers.

The modern acronym stands for:

• Friendship
