Aims and Donations
:: The primary aim is to help the disabled and those needing assistance to return to fishing. Nationally we will collect and collate names and contact numbers of people needing our help and assistance, and people willing to give that assistance. These will be cross referenced and introduced through the "Buddy" system register.

:: The secondary aim is to offer advice and guidance in general to fisheries and venues in regards to access and suitability for the disabled angler. Where appropriate we will refer them to an appropriate advisory agency in their area.

:: The third aim is to (where ever possible) promote angling as a healthy, beneficial pastime for everyone, regardless of experience or ability.This will be done by supporting less privileged groups enabling them to participate in organised events.This will be done by offering to conduct "Angling for all" seminars to schools and youth clubs.By offering to conduct "Angling for all - It can be done" seminars and demonstrations to disabled clubs and assiciations.

::Please help us to make a difference, your donation will be put to good use no matter how big or small. Thank you.

    Patrons…
    How important is it to have Patrons? How many do you have? I think it’s very important to have patrons for any charity or charitable organisation for several reasons.  It’s getting them thats the hard part. Patrons for me are saying to others that they like what we are doing and support us. I dont’t expect much from a patron as they have their own lives which in most cases are v...
