“Taking the wounded to the waterside” Fishing For Forces was formed to allow anglers and members of the public nationwide to express their thanks to those who have suffered wounds of any description, those who are serving and those who have served in all conflicts, protecting our country and much envied way of life. Working with many anglers, clubs and syndicates throughout the UK we organise monthly group and individual days at the waterside to share the now widely recognised therapeutic and stress-busting benefits that a day at a river or lake can provide. There are many among the pictures in our gallery who have suffered wounds, both physically and mentally, but their courage in trying to get back to a normal life is only to be admired. With your donations we assist in the recovery of our wounded and remove the stress attached to being a member of HMAF at every opportunity. This is your charity and we only put in to action what many of you have said, with one to one mentored instruction and many anglers giving their time to pass on their skills in all the disciplines of angling. Check the website www.fishingforforces.org and see what so many of you have achieved so far and I assure you that, without exception, all of our 2000+ guests to date (all members of HMAF) have ended the day asking “when is the next one?”. Many are also taking up angling as their primary leisure pursuit. The demand is ever-growing as you are aware so please join us, give generously and let us broaden our horizons and achieve even greater results on your behalf. My thanks. Bill HowellFounder

Healing the Wounds has been raising funds and awareness for our armed forces personnel, veterans and their families since December 2009. We have received tremendous support from our Welsh communities and beyond, who have realized the need to provide a place for our Welsh heros to receive treatment for PTSD ( post tramatic stress disorder ) and recover from what they have had to endure through the course of doing their duty, during conflicts past and present. Our fund raisers of all ages have held verious events by swimming, skydiving, climbing mountains, running distances and a host of other activities, to ensure that a much needed facility in Wales will be made available to our Welsh Warriors. The charity has already provided support and treatment for sufferers of PTSD, who now have quality of life.
