At the West Sussex & Surrey Angling Academy, we use angling to transform lives through education, skill-building, and mental wellbeing. Our unique programmes cater to children, young people, adults, and families—especially those at risk of exclusion from education or society. We offer tailored, accredited courses that promote personal growth, confidence, and social development, with a focus on building life skills, teamwork, and resilience. Through the calming and therapeutic nature of angling, we help participants improve their health and wellbeing, reduce stress, and develop a strong sense of community. Whether it’s taster sessions, beginners’ courses, or specialised programmes for SEND, ex-offenders, and NHS workers, WSSAA is dedicated to fostering positive change for all who participate.
We offer a range of angling experiences, including taster sessions, beginners’ courses, and fishing days, tailored for children, young people, adults, the elderly, disabled individuals.
