Julia spreads the news

On Monday, 25th September, we received an email from ITV news asking us to go along to Rib Valley Fishing Lakes, Ware, to support an item they would be broadcasting that evening regarding the benefits on angling on mental health. We were pleased to assist and Julia, one of our volunteers, who lives in the area, agreed to meet with the reporter on our behalf.

Take a look at what ITV and Julia had to say on the subject and also at the follow up article the reporter uploaded onto the internet.
