Volunteers needed for Building Bridges Project in your region

The highly successful Building Bridges Project now seeks volunteers to support its inspirational work educating and integrating migrant anglers from central and eastern Europe.
Building Bridges, which has a small but dedicated team, is looking to increase its reach and support of the angling community by setting up a network of volunteers, starting with two in each of the Angling Trust Fisheries Enforcement Support Service’s six English regions.
 
The volunteers will work closely with Building Bridges Project Officers, Regional Enforcement Managers and the Voluntary Bailiff Service, supporting clubs, fisheries and the migrant angling communities through the provision of multi-lingual information. Volunteers will receive appropriate training and be directly supported by Project Manager Jan Kansik.
 
National Volunteers Manager Karen Sarkar said: “There are many anglers out there keen to put something back into the sport we all love and this is another opportunity provided by the Angling Trust and Environment Agency to do just that. Volunteers are essential to our work and we are committed to providing such opportunities, ensuring that our volunteers receive the best in support and training. This is a great opportunity to support an already successful initiative.”
 
Building Bridges Project Manager Jan Kansik said: “By first creating a small network of volunteers throughout England, we can lay the foundation for a bigger network in future. This would greatly expand upon the good work our Project Officers already do and is a really exciting initiative. Obviously, the ability to speak both English and another language such as Polish, Lithuanian or Romanian would be an advantage because the role involves liaising with angling clubs and fisheries.
 
"We also would like British anglers to come aboard, to help with introductions to angling clubs and fisheries, and raise awareness of what Building Bridges can do to help them. A network of volunteers would really help us get out there, visiting more clubs and fisheries, and ensuring that everyone has access to the resources we can provide. Ideally, we would like our volunteers to consider supporting us at least two hours per week, although this is entirely flexible.”
 
Building Bridges is part of the Fisheries Enforcement Support Service and funded by freshwater fishing licences through the National Angling Strategic Services contract awarded by the Environment Agency to the Angling Trust.
