Aims/priorities: The Get Fishing Fund has been established to support organisations delivering a programme of angling activities. These angling activities should aim to help get more people into fishing and retain them within the sport.
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.
Grant amount: November 2024: Building on the launch of the Get Fishing Fund in December 2020, the Environment Agency and Angling Trust have announced an additional £150,000 investment to encourage more people to get fishing for the time in 2025.
Organisations can apply for up to £2,500 to deliver their project.
Application process: Applications will be judged on a weekly basis and as a result, the funds may be allocated before the deadline.
Applications are made online at the Angling Trust website.
Deadline: Friday 6 December 2024.
