Charities today provide amazing opportunities to so many people for a vast amount of different reasons. These opportunities are often life-changing.

During the event, representatives of the charities were invited to tell their stories. This provided a truly unique and moving insight into the services that they provide. It was a humbling and uplifting occasion which also provided an opportunity for the charities to network over lunch.

Many of us grew up in the 1960s and 70s where, for some, it was a time of making out a living repairing cars, exterminating pests or hop picking. Boys were taught to fish by their fathers during the weekends, cast after cast plopping into willow-shaded water, while weekdays were spent at the secondary school where, for some, gardening and metalwork were still being taught. Fishing is an unsentimental memoir of that time and nothing has changed for those boys today. As adults they continue to carry out the traditions of fishing as taught by their fathers and pass this knowledge on to the children who have a love for the sport.
