‘Fishing gives us time to think but a reason not to’

Our Mission

It started with a small group of friends, most of whom work or have worked in the emergency services or forces (or both)

How it started..

It started with a small group of friends, most of whom work or have worked in the emergency services or forces (or both)
We fish together as friends. Some have suffered with mental health issues and have used fishing as a coping mechanism, some have never suffered but accredit fishing as the main reason why they’ve not suffered.

We realised if it helps us cope with the trauma and stress that we are exposed to then it can help others to. But starting out fishing can be daunting, the cost of setting up, how to tie knots, how to safely care for fish, etc. So in June 2021 Emergency Carper was born.
