:: The primary aim is to help and encourage disabled and less able anglers to get back into fishing and to encourage as many people as possible to take up fishing as a recreational, outdoor activity. Going out on the road and travelling to fisheries, clubs and venues around the UK, has been the best way of meeting people and motivating them to either volunteer their help as fishing Buddies, or getting disabled people to talk about the possibility of getting back into fishing - or even trying it out as a new hobby.

:: The secondary aim is to help and encourage clubs and commercial fisheries to improve access for all anglers, irrespective of their (dis)ability, wherever practicable. Again, going to see the venues/lakes is the only way to judge whether or not we can help.

:: The third aim is to promote angling for everybody as a healthy, beneficial outdoor pursuit, by supporting less privileged groups and enabling them to participate in organised events.

:: We would like to have our own purpose built lake/lakes which would see all swims with platforms suitable for wheelchairs, small cafe/tackle shop/toilets, Family workshop for the wives and kids, a junior club to encourage the youger generation to take up the sport and combine that with them assisting less able/disabled anglers. The whole complex would be made into a Trust so Reels on Wheels would continue when I am dead and gone.

 

How can we do this and how much will it cost?

:: We have formed a Committee to help with the everyday running and promoting of the organisation, and to help come up with new ideas and ways to achieve our goals.

:: We would like to raise enough funds so that we can purchase a lake and make it fully disabled friendly, as mentioned above, we have looked into this and it would be benificial to many individuals and local organisations.

If you know of anyone with health/mobility issues who could benefit from the help which we offer, free of charge, please point them in our direction or get in touch.

Did you know that if every Adult angler in England and Wales who held a Licence made a one off donation of £2 to Reels on Wheels we could open a purpose built fishery for all to use with areas for kids, family workshops, cafe, tackle supplies and fully disabled pegs and toilets and then the whole complex would be turned into a Trust. Please help us to make a difference, your donation will be put to good use no matter how big or small. Thank you.
