At Tewkesbury Junior Anglers, we understand that traditional educational settings don't suit every child. That's why we've developed specialised alternative provision activities that harness the unique therapeutic and educational potential of angling. We use the sport as a dynamic tool for learning and personal growth, offering valuable life skills such as patience, focus, and problem-solving. These activities are designed to foster a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem in young people who may struggle in mainstream education. By engaging with nature and learning a practical skill, participants develop confidence and resilience, often experiencing a positive shift in their overall attitude and behavior. We provide a structured and supportive environment where they can thrive, learn, and grow at their own pace.

"Recognising that every child learns differently, Tewkesbury Junior Anglers offers bespoke one-to-one sessions tailored to individual learning styles and goals. These sessions provide focused guidance and accelerated progress, allowing young anglers to develop their skills at their own pace.

Whether a child is struggling with a specific technique or simply prefers a more individualised approach, our one-to-one sessions provide the dedicated attention and support they need to succeed. They are designed to build confidence and ensure each child gets the maximum benefit from their time spent angling.

Understanding the profound connection between nature and mental well-being, Tewkesbury Junior Anglers facilitates supportive mental health groups. We believe that angling provides a tranquil and nurturing environment where young people can connect with the calming influence of nature and build meaningful connections with peers. These groups offer a safe space for young people to express themselves, share their experiences, and develop coping mechanisms. By engaging in a shared activity, participants build a sense of community and belonging, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. The gentle rhythm of casting and the focus required for angling can be incredibly therapeutic, promoting relaxation and mindfulness. We provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where young people can develop emotional resilience and a sense of well-being.
