Angling offers the opportunity to escape the demands of a busy work and home life by surrounding yourself in nature and wildlife away from a world of technology. It provides an opportunity for our minds to rest and reset and can be a meditative pastime that often happens in places where the wonders of nature are very evident. Here's how to incorporate angling in mental health and wellbeing support activity.

Important:
Please note that you do not need to tick all the criteria to become an approved partner – we will provide support for you to obtain any documents that you don’t currently have.
What to do with these forms:
Please go through the Safer Operator form and use it as a checklist to determine where your organisation currently sits.
If your organisation is missing any of the criteria, then please don’t worry we will either directly supply these to you or we have provided the necessary documents on this website.
When you’ve submitted the application form an email with a copy of your insurance certificate and safeguarding policy will go to wellbeing@anglingtrust.net for sign-off by our Lead Safeguarding Manager Richard Hadley.
Remember: at this early stage you do not have to supply all the evidence listed in the check list.
We will assess your application, sign off and then list your organisation on our Get Fishing for Wellbeing Approved Delivery Partner Directory on this website and send you the official branding logo.
