National Volunteer’s Week – Let’s Go Fishing AMHI shows how fishing is so beneficial to our wellbeing
Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to society and help others, which in turn makes you feel great!
Here are a few photos of the important volunteer Coaching team that makes the AMHI what it is today, and how hard they all work for their local community.
Their main aims and drive are to not only give back but to better wellbeing for everyone using fishing.

National Volunteer’s week, inspiring more people to make a difference, is held every year. See this link to see how you can get involved.
Alternatively, you can come along to one of our Get Fishing Events in your area. Events are added to our website and social media all the time so, please check our Get Fishing events diary for new events near to you where you can meet like-minded people, start a new fishing hobby, or get involved in your community.
The Get Fishing campaign is funded by
The Angling Trust’s Get Fishing campaign to get more people fishing more often is funded by the Environment Agency from fishing licence income as part of the National Angling Strategic Services contract with the Angling Trust, and Sport England. Children under 13 do not need a licence, and licences for children aged between 13 and 16 are free but you still need to register and receive a licence before you go fishing. You can get a licence for the full year, for 8 days (ideal for holidays!) or just a day’s fishing.
NOTE: Although young children who are under 13 year old do not need a licence to fish, the person supervising them needs to have the proper fishing licence before they take hold of the fishing rod or help the child fish with it.
Get Fishing is Proudly Supported by
The Angling Trust’s ‘Get Fishing’ campaign is proudly supported by
