Nine Maidens glad to be all at sea

Published on 12th June 2007

A small grant was awarded to help The Nine Maidens Centre with the organisation of its angling activities by purchasing the appropriate equipment and organising a ‘reward’ for your young people and families.

During Spring of 2007 Moving Up Through Leisure was looking for day time activities that we could offer to young people who where referred through schools and who needed additional support. These activities needed to provide some sort of accreditation, to be very cheap or free as our project didn't have any money and to have a therapeutic effect by increasing confidence and self esteem.

The Essex Association of Boys Clubs organised its first ever deep sea fishing trips in March 2007.  Six young people and Keith Cranmer, a Boys Club officer, left from Bradwell and headed out into the North Sea. A second trip took place in April. The trips were possible with the generous support of Dreamstore, which supports the educational and recreational value of angling.

Young people at Castlepark Centre, Dundee, decided that going on a trout fishing trip and donating their catch to a local old people's group was an excellent way to promote citizenship within the community. The over-60's Tea Dance group at the Grey Lodge Settlement was delighted to accept the large rainbow trout from the budding young anglers.
