Here at Angling Direct, we could not be happier with the recognition of the benefits angling has on mental health and the great work Tackling Minds are doing to support anglers and non-anglers suffering from anxiety and depression in the UK.

What is Tackling Minds?

The goal of Tackle Minds is to get people from all walks of life interested in fishing. Whether it’s mental health, social deprivation, addictions, disabilities, families or long-term health.

The charity caters to all levels of angler, it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, or if you plan on fishing competitively, we have something for everybody. The Tackling Minds team just want to show people that fishing is not a sport, it’s a way of life!

Since the birth of Tackling Minds in October 2020, things have gone from strength to strength and the need for further volunteers and funding has become key to keeping up the momentum and helping to support the ongoing work by David (founder) and his team.

Andy Torrance, CEO of Angling Direct commented:

“At Angling Direct our purpose is to Get Everyone Fishing. We really understand the huge well-being benefits of angling and so our vision is to make fishing as accessible as possible. We’re delighted therefore to be supporting Dave and his incredible team of volunteers at Tackling Minds.

Colleagues at Angling Direct have really thrown themselves into this, supporting in many different ways, from volunteering at events to lending expertise, providing much needed IT equipment and also selling their great range of Tackling Minds clothing. Raising awareness like this can only be good for the sport.”

David Lyons, Founder of Tackling Minds also expressed his excitement for the launch:

“Thank you so much to Angling Direct who have been unbelievably supportive towards Tackling Minds since we formed back in November 2020. We’re super excited to see our supporters wearing them [clothing range] in the not so distant future.”
