ANNUAL FISHING DAY
Every year we combine with a local fishing club who kindly donate their 
time and facilities to give children with special needs and learning difficulties a whole day fishing. They have the exclusive use of the ‘fishermens’ private lake and one to one assistance from the members.
We provide free food and drinks all day from the BBQ. With awards for Biggest Fish, Most Fish Caught and many more, the club makes sure that every child receives some award at the end of the day.
The children are invited from our local schools, this year all the pupils were from Treetops School.
Many children return each year with comments such as “It’s the best day I’ve ever had”, “It’s the first time I’ve ever won anything in my life”. Parents have also seen the benefit of these days as some of the children have taken up fishing as a regular hobby.
We thank the members of the fishing club for donating a Fishing rod as the prize for the ‘Biggest Fish’.
Also thanks to the fishermen for their continued support and time, without them this valuable day would not be possible.
