Q: Is there a concessionary rate for disabled members?
A: The Angling Trust does not offer a concessionary subscription for disabled members. Instead we encourage angling clubs and commercial fisheries to make available access and facilities for disabled anglers and we seek to support projects designed to improve inclusive angling opportunities.
