Fishing for Schools film

Watch our Fishing for Schools film
A new short film has been produced to showcase the magical benefits of The Countryside Alliance Foundation's Fishing for Schools initiative. The programme, which is run by celebrated angler Charles Jardine and his team, involves short courses for 14-16 year olds, many with learning disabilities, giving them confidence along with a new found practical skill. Charles and his experienced instructors have run courses from South Wales to Northumberland, Sussex to Dorset already this year and the programme is really gathering momentum.

Watch the film here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6ioLX6KwPU and please forward the link to friends.

For further details on Fishing for Schools and how to organise a course for a local school, please contact Charles Jardine on charles@charlesjardine.co.uk . If you would like to make a donation to help the children involved, please call 0207 840 9232 .

It's really a magical video which shows fishing. The skills shown up are fantastical and helpful too. And the part that it helps the people who are disable, just moved me. I am looking for more videos of yours!
