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.

About Me

Hi! I’m Nick – a disabled angler from Cornwall, UK. I’ve been passionate about angling since I was 5 years old and that’s over 50 years now! I became a wheelchair user about 8 years ago and suffered from bouts of depression because I thought my whole life was over… not uncommon, believe me. I wasn’t allowed to stay like that though (my wife saw to that!) and I started doing all the things I’d always done, just from a different perspective. I got seriously pissed off hearing people tell me that I couldn’t do things I wanted to do just because I’m in a wheelchair – so I do them anyway, if I can! I’m a man on a mission….

I founded a charitable organisation called Reels on Wheels and you can read about it HERE.

I take on many things to show others that just because we are in a wheelchair our lives havent finished. I dont do PC and can be very controversial which upsets a few people.

This year 2010 I am taking on many things one of which is to fish in the World Carp Classc in France…6 days and 5 nights fishing.

On this site you can follow my Diary as I get things ready for that and get ready to fish other events before the big one in September.

Thanks for reading this and please tell your friends about the site.
