It will support children and youth in care through the sport of fly fishing and provide opportunities for them to have fun, build self-esteem and develop a meaningful connection with the great outdoors. The mentoring sessions will run throughout the summer, with the team teaching children how to fly fish with an emphasis on conservation, education and the outdoor experience.<\/p>\n

The project also provides mentees with a structured curriculum workbook, opportunities to earn specialised badges for participating and a new fly rod, reel and set up gear so they have the necessary equipment to continue their journey in the sport. In addition, Sportfish will offer all project participants free fishing on its lakes once a month for a year after project completion plus generous discounts at its store and online.<\/p>\n
Susan Skrupa, founder and director of the Mayfly Project UK said; \u201cFly fishing mentorship is perfect for children and youth in care because it takes the pressure off them to be a certain way or meet an expectation; they are there to learn how to fish and to take a break from their everyday lives. We hope that every child we mentor leaves with not only a desire to spend time in nature and continue to develop their fly-fishing skills, but knowing they are not alone in their journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

To have the opportunity to enhance youngsters\u2019 understanding of the importance of conservation, safeguarding the environment for future generations, alongside learning new skills, and having fun, aligns perfectly with our ethos. Partnering with The Mayfly Project UK is a fantastic way to help us give a little back and bring new people, who may not otherwise have the opportunity, to a sport that can enrich lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
