🌿🎣 Adult Well-being Angling Session – Mill Dam, Kirkby 🎣🌿

What a fantastic day out in nature! Our adult well-being group enjoyed a relaxing angling session at Mill Dam, where everyone had the chance to switch off, connect, and share good company.

Not only did we catch some fish 🐟, but we also created memories, built confidence, and spent time with like-minded people in a calm, supportive environment.

Fishing isn’t just about the catch – it’s about the peace, focus, and connection it brings. 💚

We can’t wait for the next session!

🎣 Reel Healing in the Angling Times! 📰

We’re proud to share that our Reel Healing Project has been featured in Angling Times!

This recognition means so much to us, as we continue using fishing to support mental health, build confidence, and create a safe community for those who need it most.

👉 To keep growing and reaching more people, we’re asking for support:

🎒 Donations of tackle, rods, and bait to help us kit out our sessions.

🚌 Contributions towards a community mini bus, so we can get more young people and adults out on the bank.

Every bit of support—whether it’s a spare rod, a bag of bait, or a contribution—helps us change lives through angling.

💙 If you’d like to donate or get involved, please drop us a message. Together, we can make a huge difference.

Alfie, aged 10
Parent testimonial:
"Alfie is a very energetic child who’s always on the go, but fishing has become the one hobby where he’s fully engaged and focused. Through his time with Primal Mentality, he’s not only learned new angling skills, but also developed socially—mixing with other kids who share his interests and even gaining the confidence to help newer anglers.

We recently went on a weekend fishing trip, and Alfie couldn’t wait to get back to his sessions to show Chris and Hannah the fish he caught. He was met with so much praise and encouragement—it really meant the world to him.

It’s clear how much care and support goes into each session. Well done, Primal Mentality—you’ve created something truly special."

Thea, aged 8

Parent testimonial:
"I can’t thank Chris enough for what he has done for my child. Thea absolutely loves her fishing lessons and looks forward to them with so much excitement each week.

Her confidence has grown massively—it’s been such a joy to watch her learn, laugh, and thrive during the sessions. Her face lights up when she catches a fish, and just as beautifully, she’s always cheering on the other children too.

She’s made wonderful new friendships and created so many special memories this summer. I’m so happy Thea joined this fishing group—it’s given her a real love for the outdoors and a brand new passion.

Let the fishing journey begin!"

🎣✨ What a way to end the summer holidays!

Every single young angler caught fish this morning, but the star of the session was Alfie who smashed his PB with an absolute beast of a carp at 20.3lb! 💪🐟

The Reel Healing Project has only been running for 6 months and in that short time we’ve already delivered sessions to 100 different children – helping them connect with nature, build confidence, and experience the joy of fishing. 🌿💙

So proud of all the kids today – from their first roach and perch, to those new PBs! The smiles say it all. 😁

If companies or individuals would like to support our project then please contact me.

Thank you to Friends Of Mill Farm for supporting us this this project.

🚐🎣 Help Us Get a Mini Bus for Primal Anglers Youth Project! 🎣🚐

At Primal Mentality CIC, we run Primal Anglers — a community project giving children and young people the chance to experience the benefits of fishing for their mental health, confidence, and wellbeing.

Right now, our biggest challenge is transport. We’re fundraising for a mini bus to:
✅ Take young people to fishing venues across the UK
✅ Carry all the rods, tackle, and equipment needed
✅ Make sure no child misses out because of transport barriers

👉 Every donation, big or small, will help us make this dream a reality.
👉 Businesses donating £500 or more will get their logo on our mini bus, seen all over the UK on our trips!

Please support us if you can, and even if you can’t donate, a share goes a long way 💙

Together, we can give young people the chance to cast a line into brighter futures. 🎣✨

At Primal Mentality CIC, we believe that the outdoors changes live… Chris Jervis needs your support for Cast a Line, Change a Life – Support Our Mini Bus Fund
