To promote and encourage the benefits of angling to people of all ages,to provide free permits for anyone under the age of 16 To participate in community spirit by maintaining council footpaths along the river plus keeping our riverbanks clear for easy access for the whole community not just anglersProject Description
Our club decided last year to give our youngsters a free permit to encourage them into the great outdoors,to get them away from a computer screen or a smartphone,fishing is well versed for people's wellbeing and to see the young ones having a big smile on their face when they land a fish is heartwarming.We also give free permits to mental health organisations plus Woodlands View at Irvine central hospital and the Richmond fellowship
This year has been a tremendous success with the sale of approximately 700 members around half of these members have received a free permit.We would like to apply for £1,000 to help in the price of printing permits at a cost of £0.65 per unit plus help in fuel and running costs of our grass cutting equipment for next year 2026
The club income is permit sales only,we don't have any other way to generate money
We would really appreciate any help to continue encouraging our juveniles into the sport as they are our clubs future
