Fir Tree Fishery creates new opportunities for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups who have not been able to participate in outdoor enrichment activities due to a lack of disabled facilities and support. Much of the work we do involves delivering outdoor education, enrichment and rehabilitation programmes for young people not in education, employment or training, young offenders and young people in looked after and protected care. These young people study for alternative BTEC qualifications focused around assisting people with disabilities. This involves the learners planning, marketing and then delivering community angling events for the local stroke and brain injury charities we support allowing these individuals with physical disabilities to engage and enjoy new opportunities. These events are so important because we have found them to break down barriers and stereotypes that can often exist between different generation and individuals of different abilities. We have witnessed it first hand develop new relationships between the young people and the members they support.
