Why we are supporting Fishing for Heroes Most of us appreciate how good a beautiful stretch of river makes us feel. It’s a nice environment, peaceful, quiet and calm. Many people enjoy that environment by fishing, and often it’s more about being there enjoying the peace and quiet than about catching any fish. Fishing for Heroes is a charity that supports current and ex-service personnel who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other issues related to active service. They provide fishing training and days out as therapy from the effects of often horrifying combat experiences. By looking after our rivers, Tyne Rivers Trust provides the environment; Fishing for Heroes provides the experience and training.
