Fishing with Veterans UK! Supporting Veterans Through
Angling Therapy & Community
Fishing with Veterans UK is a dedicated team of volunteers travelling across the country to support military veterans through the power of fishing. Our mission is to raise awareness and vital funds for veterans' and mental health charities by organising fishing adventures that bring together ex-service personnel and passionate anglers. These events offer more than just a day by the water — they create a safe, supportive space for friendship, shared stories, and healing. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or new to the sport, join us in building a community that honours our veterans and promotes mental wellbeing through the peaceful and restorative experience of fishing.
Why we do what we do!
SSAFA (the Armed Forces charity) and Combat Stress are two leading organisations providing vital support to UK veterans.
SSAFA offers a wide range of practical, emotional, and financial assistance to veterans and their families, helping them navigate life after military service with dignity and stability. From housing and welfare support to tailored casework, SSAFA ensures that no veteran faces life’s challenges alone.
Combat Stress focuses specifically on veterans’ mental health, providing expert clinical treatment for conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Through therapy, counselling, and peer support, Combat Stress helps former service personnel rebuild their lives and find hope after trauma. Together, these charities play a crucial role in supporting those who have served our country.
