Fishing Support Volunteers

Teaching a person to fish is more than just learning to fish. It gives a person a sense of purpose and assists with mental health and motor skills. Our vision is also to alleviate boredom which can lead to senseless crimes, depression and, in the worst case, suicide. It is about teaching patience, building friendships and networks and giving our youth something productive to do. TTTAF also acts in a mentoring role for at-risk teens.

All the clinics run are staffed by volunteers, all of the equipment is supplied through donations but, at this time, the group has no government funding and relies solely on the generosity of the communities and fellow fisherman. The clinics are open to everyone, at no cost, and all abilities and backgrounds are catered for.
