Get Fishing Fund

Description

Grants to support angling clubs, fisheries, charities, schools and local authorities in England to deliver angling events and activities that will get more people into fishing and retain them within the sport.

Current Status: Open for Applications

Maximum value: £ 2,500

Objectives of Fund

The Get Fishing Fund has been established to support organisations delivering a programme of angling activities throughout 2023. These angling activities should aim to help get more people into fishing and retain them within the sport.

Value Notes

Building on the successful launch of the Get Fishing Fund in December 2020, the Environment Agency and Angling Trust have announced an additional £100,000 investment to encourage more people to give fishing a go for the first time in 2023.

Organisations can apply for up to £2,500 to deliver their project.

Match Funding Restrictions

The funder will give priority to those projects that have secured match funding. It is not a specific requirement although it will assist applications if applicants are able to secure additional investment into the project.

Who Can Apply

Applications are accepted from angling clubs, fisheries, charities, schools and local authorities in England that want to increase the number of people being introduced to angling.

Activity that is delivered as a result of receiving funding must be delivered on freshwater fisheries where angling requires a fishing licence.
