Reels on Wheels (UK) Ltd hasn't added a story.
Reels on Wheels was set up back in June 2007 to help find buddies to get disabled anglers back fishing and to enable more people with disabilities take up the sport. We also arrange sessions for anglers with Terminal illnesses so having the right gear with us is important.
Since then we have managed to help over 400 anglers in one way or another and in the last two years thanks to supporters, buddies and our Patrons, we have grown.
We wanted to buy a van but fundraising that sort of money takes too long. So we decided that a good trailer that would be big enough to transport 3 lots of tackle plus one lot in the car, would mean instead of for eaxmple 5 cars going, we could do the trip with just 2. The trailer is needed so that we can transport anglers' gear to events and fundraisers and to also be able to have a portaloo available for them.
We have a few events organised and need to attend these so that urgently needed funds can be raised. We hope that by doing this we can grow even more and help many more disabled anglers.
We are regularly contacted by Healthcare professionals, Support Workers, etc. seeking advice on fishing trips for their clients, so maintaining the Buddy System in order to cater for them is extremely important. We are one of very few organisations of this kind who offer help in this way, at no cost, which is why we continue to fundraise.
As far as the Terminally Ill are concerned, we also feel that this is a way of enabling them to enjoy a rant or a moan, or just a conversation, free from all the conventional restraints when dealing with their health issues. It's also beneficial to getting over the effects of Chemo- and Radio-therapy. We offer 24 hours in tranquil surroundings with an angler who gets "it"...
