Once they are hooked – Grassroots Channel Podcast 14

Programme 14. Angling is just about catching fish – isn’t it? Apparently not. Andy Walker tells the story of how fishing rejuvenates young lives and protects communities from crime.

His Birmingham based organisation, Get Hooked On Fishing (redirect), is working in neighbourhoods across the city. With support from the Bournville Village Trust and the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund, it is turning this hugely popular sport into an engine for social change.
