 | External funding is important for anyone running an angling club. For example, the Angling Improvement Fund has so far funded 240 projects, supporting angling improvements estimated to be worth an incredible £2.4 million. But did you know that Sport England’s ‘Community |
Asset Fund’ and ‘Small Grants Scheme’ make over £13 million of funding available to coarse, sea and game angling clubs?
Success was enjoyed by Nottingham Federation of Anglers which received over £60,000 from Sport England to completely redevelop one of its fisheries. Secretary Ian Mclaughlin was buoyant about the opportunities this has given the Federation and said “Sales of annual memberships are on the up, we’ve attracted visiting match anglers to our open competitions and at last, all the hard work is starting to pay off!”
