We follow all confidentiality guidelines set out by Social Care Wales

A Safeguarding approach will always be used

With purposeful participation, Angling can help a number of cognitive difficulties

Using fine motor skills and concentration for longer periods

Being supported next to a lake or any expanse of water, can relax and center the mind

Be outside and in the silence, surrounded by beauty
