Improve happiness and well being

What we'll deliver:

• Create a club house
• Fishing educational sessions for local pupils and local children
• maintain and clean waterways and footpath
• Purchase boat for use by wheelchair users
• Create a Youth fishing Club with training coach, equipment to use, and regular supervised sessions
• Create fishing platform and wheelchair access
• Planting and landscaping at Old Ford Lock
• Repopulate the water with new fish stock
• work with our partners to improve water quality, especially oxygen levels

Why it's a great idea:

The area was a well known spot for fishing but the Olympics have closed many areas to local anglers.

Fishing is the first participatory sport in the UK and many local people of all ages and abilities are currently unable to participate, especially if they do not have sufficient wealth to travel far and wide to good fishing grounds.

We are working hard to bring anglers back to the Lea River in Eastend, also hoping to inspire a new generation of anglers.

Angling has many social and health proven benefits and our inititiative will enhance quality of life in the East End.

Steps to get it done:

• Create a club house and Youth Fishing club open 7 days a week
• Bring the local community to the waterways for sport, play, socialising and working
• Create access to fishing for all ages and all abilities
• Create fiishing activities and fishing infrastructure
• Improve fish stocks and water quality

We need ntusiastic volunteers
