Fishing for Schools does not ever truly stop.
Nor does the programme only reach out to schools: a high spot is our work with Kent disability groups. Warren White has spearheaded our vital engagement with these organisations, leading to events that have been flourishing under the guidance of David Evans.
The output demonstrates how we also don’t just celebrate angling. The artwork produced in these sessions alongside the angling – especially the 3D work – has been outstanding this year, arguably their finest to date.
This is something truly worth celebrating with us.
Here are some photos from our second session with Peppercorns in Dartford, a centre run by the charity Choice Support, together with the piece of artwork they all contributed to:
Of the second session, David tells us:
"Once the heavy rain desisted, we had another good day with Choice Support. Bites were a little harder to come by than usual, but we had a nice variety of species and some decent sized fish. We really enjoyed our day together again as the group are always so happy to get involved and be out with us on the bank."
Allison from Choice Support Dartford said:
“The weather at the start of the day cleared, giving the people we brought along yesterday and last week an experience that no amount of money can buy. Ryan, who we brought along last week, has been so animated when he talks about the fishing and tells everyone he meets that his new friends 'Dave and Les' helped him have his best day ever.
"The group have enjoyed getting involved again with the artwork that was brought along yesterday.
"Thank you again for allowing us to come along and to Dave and Les, who were so patient coaching the members of Peppercorns to have such a valuable experience.”
