Who are Fishcare?

Fishcare aims to promote responsible and sustainable fishing practices to the next generation of anglers, the organisation is made up of passionate volunteers that feel very strongly about protecting and enhancing our fisheries, waterways and aquatic environments.

Volunteer's role

The primary role we play is to deliver responsible fishing workshops to school aged children pushing the messages of sustainability and appreciation of the environment around us as well as a tips on how to catch a nice fish for dinner. There are many roles to play within the organisation in which volunteers can help, so if presenting an educational workshop to a classroom full of kids isn’t for you that’s fine. Some members play key roles in running the organisation, looking for funding opportunities, marketing the Fishcare brand, building relationships with agencies, stakeholders, community groups and even participating in habitat protection and enhancement projects.
