Carp Team England receives no finanical backing from The Angling Trust (our National Governing Body), the sports organisations such as UK Sport and Sport England, or The Lottery. No one in the squad is paid, and the anglers actually pay for the privilege of representing their country.

We are not sponsored and are wholly reliant on the donations we receive. When I took over as Manager there was one team competing in one event. In 2019 there will be 3 squads (mens, womens, home nations) competing in 5 events, and the team is likely to cost in excess of £25,000 this year alone. The money we receive from our generous supporters does not cover what we need to do, and it is becoming more apparent that extra time practicing, plus extra logisitcal support is key to success. We therefore need to raise funds to keep us going and to remain comeptitive on the world stage. If everyone that enjoys watching the teams progress on social media donated just £10 then our lives would be so much easier. Please help out. We really do need your support.

Thanks ...... Hughesy
