Dreamstore covered the cost of British Disabled Anglers Association owning a week on the River Doon in Ayrshire. The week was offered locally and the name of My David Davidson was pulled from a hat. Regrettably, Mr Davidson passed away from cancer the week prior to his angling opportunity. In his memory the BDAA provided a shield to be fished for each year on the Doon by any disabled angler. The shield is in the keeping of Smithton’s Fishing Club. Mr Davidson’s wife, Irene, believes her husband, “would have been delighted with what the BDAA has done for local people.”
Dreamstore has also supported the BDAA in other small ways, covering the cost of information leaflets and offering general organisational advice. From time to time Dreamstore will work with the BDAA in piloting projects with other organisations to assess the suitability of angling for a particular disabled group. The first of these was the Stroke Association in Liverpool.
