The Event Support Volunteer Award course is designed to support those who wish to offer voluntary help at Get Fishing Award events and provides an introduction to step into coaching.
Places are free to the first 100 who take part, supported by funding from the Environment Agency rod licence income that is being reinvested to develop new anglers.
Please follow the instructions below to book your place.
You will need to download the ZOOM application (which is free to use) onto either your computer, laptop or smartphone.
Booking online secures your place on the Zoom session for the displayed date: please add the date to your diary as there is no confirmation sent out. The tutor will email your Zoom link: please read the accompanying instructions in good time before the course.
Angling Trust will also arrange for you to undertake the category of Enhanced DBS check which is a requirement for your role as an Event Support Volunteer. Guidance for completing the two actions that you need to compete will also come by email, but this will be separate from the instructions and Zoom link supplied by your tutor.
Booking has now closed on this event.
