The charity making life better by water

Donate your unused fishing tackle and trophies

Our Let’s Fish programme benefits each year from the generous donation various items of fishing tackle and replica trophies.

The majority of your donations are distributed to keen young participants who were able to demonstrate their enthusiasm and commitment to fishing and in particular to attend our Let's Fish celebration events.

Passing it on

Not all of the equipment we receive is suitable for beginners or for coarse fishing. In this scenario we are able to pass this equipment on, investing the proceedings in more suitable starter kits for young people. Occasionally we receive items with heritage value which are auctioned, with the proceeds again invested in suitable fishing starter kits for young people.

Trophies

The Let's Fish programme is also able to reuse many replica fishing trophies and even larger perpetual trophies. Our philosophy is that we believe that young people should be motivated by the opportunity to win trophies, certificates and small tackle prizes rather than have the pressure of trying to win cash during their formative fishing years. In 2024 we distributed over 400 replica trophies at our regional celebrations, national celebration of young people and Daiwa Global Communities celebration events.

We are usually able to arrange collection of any fishing tackle or trophy donations. Please contact us by e-mail [email protected]
