Bradford Community Play and Development Service’s fishing offer to schools has been endorsed by the Angling Trust. The Service has become a “Get Fishing For Wellbeing” – approved partner with the Angling Trust. We are now taking bookings for 2023. Book now!!!

Fishing has many benefits for mental health and wellbeing including confidence building, skills development, coordination, conduct, behaviour, patience, concentration and resilience.

Sessions are delivered at Farview Fishing Lakes which is based in a beautiful location on the outskirts of Bradford

 

Below is some information about what is provided :

Overview: Up to a maximum of 8 children fishing at any one time, supervised by two tutors.

All equipment will be provided by our Service and set up by tutors, ready for the arrival of the children on site.

On arrival, children will be briefed about the facility and informed about behaviour and expectations.

Each child will be allocated a shared peg (a space where they will remain throughout the session)

Each child will be provided with their own seat, bait and fishing tackle (including umbrella if needed)

Tutors will provide basic information about fishing and the various techniques used.

Children will be encouraged to fish independently with tutors available only to assist where and when necessary.

Children will find out about the species of fish they catch and will also have a photo opportunity if they wish to do so (School staff to arrange this) before the fish are returned safely back to the water.

Transportation: Your School will need to arrange the transportation of children, to and from the location.
