Angling Trust Development Funds
The Angling Trust is aware of the need for newer, safer facilities, better habitats and more accessible facilities to enable clubs, fisheries and other angling organisations to flourish and attract anglers.
Unfortunately, funding from traditional sources such as local authorities has become much harder to find, and better-known funding schemes, such as those offered by Sport England, attract heavy competition from across all sports.
To help increase the availability of funding for angling, the Angling Trust, in partnership with the Environment Agency, launched the Angling Improvement Fund (AIF). Due to the fact that money distributed as AIF awards is derived from income from the sale of the Environment Agency’s non-migratory trout and coarse fishing licences, projects located outside of England - and projects primarily supporting salmon and sea trout angling and/or sea angling organisations - are not eligible to apply.
