Tackling Minds is a trusted provider of UK Angling Events to support people with issues….we teach People to Fish to help their Mental Health.
Tackling Minds works closely with Mental Health organisations, Schools and Social Prescribing Link Workers.
Our volunteers provide a safe, supportive, accessible and affordable environment within which any community’s diverse population can enjoy cultural, educational, leisure and social activities.
A significant, sustained demand for what we offer means we there are ever increasing demands for resources:
-
we need more qualified Volunteers to organise and deliver more fishing Sessions
-
to fund fishing tackle and bait
-
to store our equipment on the venues we use
-
funding to attend Events to promote what we offer
By engaging with small groups, using various fishing methods, the life-changing benefits we deliver includes::
- Personal stimulation and development opportunities via the positive Stress-Relief Therapy that fishing in blue-green spaces offers;
- Assembling people in a socially engaging environment that’s essential to securing Well-being and Active Ageing

This is in memory of my younger brother Bradley Peace who sadly took his own life. He loved the water and had a passion for fishing, I have now started up again in his memory. Hope this money helps get more people talking

Over the last few years I have suffered badly with my mental health and anxiety but I soon found myself in love with fishing again. It’s not only allows me to excise my body but my mind too. I was able to build on my relationship with my dad and enjoy fishing just like i used to when I was little. Fishing helps improve my concentration and patience whilst reducing my stress levels. I love being outdoors and I find doing so instantly boosts my mood.

A great cause that needs to be talked about more.

Such a good cause.

A really wonderful idea. Our son took his own life at the age of 22yrs. Anything which can help young people enjoy meaningful activities in nature can only be a benefit.

I have 3 sons, 2 of which struggle with mental health but love fishing

Having seen the Mortimer and Whitehouse programme I thought what a wonderful idea Tackling Minds is, and I would like to support your great cause.
Matthew Kelly
Having learnt about this organisation through Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing, I thought it was a fantastic idea. If I lived in the UK I would have liked to have got involved with helping in person, but unfortunately living in the Isle of Man it’s difficult, so the least I could do is a donation.

I read into your work and thought it was a brilliant idea to help so many different people. I picked a simple (but hard!) challenge of only drinking water for a month and putting aside the money I would have been spending on fizzy drinks, teas, coffees, beers etc. It even encouraged me to get more fishing in, which has been great to help switch off from work. Hope to see you down in Essex sometime soon!
