[My son] has thrived under the guidance of the West Sussex and Surrey Angling Academy. The outdoor environment and the skills he’s learned have boosted his confidence and self-esteem, giving him a passion for fishing and valuable life skills. His school has also noted improvements in his behaviour and progress in the classroom. The Academy has had a truly positive impact on him, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

The West Sussex and Surrey Angling Academy is a valuable asset that has benefited the local communities, supporting children and vulnerable adults with learning and social challenges. I fully support the Academy's efforts and objectives.
Henry SmithMember of Parliament for Crawley
The Academy is a leader in the field of angling coaching at a national level. For it to continue to set such high standards, it needs more facilities to carry out its work. The people of West Sussex and Surrey have something very special with the West Sussex & Surrey Angling Academy.
Mark LloydChief Executive, Angling Trust
We believe this could have a positive impact on crime and disorder by encouraging youth community members through fishing as a sport to develop their skills and provide a healthy and positive interest away from external negative influences. I fully support this scheme.
Zahid KhanInspector, Neighbourhood Policing Team, Crawley, Sussex Police
The trust that you have built with our students through positive relationships and mentoring has been amazing. We love seeing the pride and excitement when the students catch their first fish, and they have really valued your support.
Marie YatesFamily Engagement Officer/Deputy DSL, Imberhorne School
I would just like to say a very big thanks to Graham and his team for helping my grandson to overcome his problems. Without their support, I feel [he] would have been permanently excluded from school. The Academy deserves all the support for their work and future plans.
Mrs WGrandparent
Graham Cridland is an expert in his field. The Academy combines the teaching of practical skills with academic study, which has benefitted our students by improving their practical skills, achieving angling success, and developing self-confidence and self-esteem. We would support any financial application or bid for resources, as this project has huge benefits for the whole community.
Steve HallDeputy Headteacher, Wandle Valley School
Fishing helps to teach some valuable life skills in patience and focus as well as the angling skill itself. Our learners thrive once they achieve their first catch, and all learners caught fish over the course. TBAP Residence thanks Graham and his team for their time and dedication to our learners, and we look forward to continuing with the 2016/17 cohorts.
