Stuie Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Coronavirus update Our support hub and helpline are now available Tuesday, 24th March 2020 The Angling Trust has now created a dedicated support helpline for angling organisations. You can access details of the helpline, along with information about financial support that could be available to angling organisations and businesses promised by the Government as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated impact, on our dedicated support pages. Clubs, fisheries and other angling organisations can access this information here. We must all do what is required of us by the Government and work together to fight this pandemic. Therefore until further notice we should all refrain from fishing. This is about saving lives and supporting the NHS. In regards to the current restrictions announced by the Government on Monday 23 March 2020 it is clear that the only permitted activities that have been specified are walking, running and cycling for the purpose of local daily exercise. Today we have written to the Sports Minister highlighting the benefits to both physical health and mental wellbeing that angling provides and that we are ready and prepared to offer whatever support the government or Sport England require now or in the future to get people back fishing as soon as is safely possible. We will post updates for all anglers on our dedicated support pages Many thanks, stay safe and look after each other, Jamie Cook Chief Executive Angling Trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
