All major sports have a national governing body backing them and we’re very lucky to have such a committed, driven organisation in the Angling Trust. They support our anglers, the environment in which they fish, our national teams, and the development of schemes and programmes encouraging people to give fishing a go if they haven’t already. I’m honoured to be an ambassador for the Trust!
