Fishing is an activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, including those with disabilities. Everybody Can Fish run small group angling sessions around Cambridgeshire where you can learn a new skill while enjoying spending time outdoors in nature.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- fishing is a good way to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life – spending some peaceful time outdoors can give you space to unwind and de-stress;
- learning something new can give you a confidence boost;
- fishing in a small group is a sociable activity – you can spend time with people in a friendly space where there is no pressure to chat.
“It was amazing to see both of the boys sitting in one place peacefully, I normally have to chase after them!” Anna – Parent of two autistic children.
