The Bolton Project

Bridget will be setting up a brand new scheme in the Bolton area starting in Spring 2008. Bridget will be working with young people from schools, youth clubs, YOT, Inclusion Teams and any other groups that want to come along and have a go at fishing.

Bridget started fishing when she was only 6 years old with her Grandad and has continued to love the sport throughout her life. She has 10 years youth work experience and enjoys working with young people from all walks of life. She qualified as a Level 2 Coach about 4 years ago and enjoys teaching young people skills that will help them enjoy the sport, respect their environment and hopefully catch more fish.
