Introduction
I believe the fishing community can come together and really make a difference. Many people turn to fishing as an escape from issues they may be facing, and one thing i've learned since beginning to plan this raffle is that people care. The community has well and truly rallied themselves and this raffle is supported by so many people including some huge names in the youtube fishing scene, the fishing rod company 'Rigged and Ready', fishing charity "A bite out of cancer", blog group Essex anglers and many more.

Why is it important?
Over 70% of people claim that their mental health has deteriorated since covid restrictions began. In addition, rates of suicide are increasing particularly in young people and this is undoubtably causing a strain on the U.K's mental health services. It's safe to say everyone's had experience with mental health issues in the past, whether it be themselves or a friend/family member. Times are tough currently and a lot of people are suffering.
