A steady place to slow down.
Reel Impact Angling is a calm, structured outdoor wellbeing programme using carp angling to support emotional regulation, confidence and connection — without pressure, labels or therapy-speak.
For people who aren't in crisis — but aren't coping brilliantly either.
This isn't about fixing anyone. It's about creating steadiness — through a calm environment, a predictable session flow, and a coach-led activity that doesn't require big conversations.
Often neurodivergent or SEND. Small, calm groups with a clear routine and no judgement.
For people who are coping, but stretched. Quiet time outdoors with something purposeful to focus on.
SENCOs, social prescribers and professionals looking for safe, structured, outcome-focused provision.
A calm structure. A real skill. A safe pace.
Reel Impact Angling is skilled facilitation outdoors — not therapy. We use carp angling because it's practical, absorbing, and naturally regulating.
- • Not a clinical service
- • Not a loud club environment
- • Not pressure, hype or 'fixing'
A calm welcome, clear plan for the session, and time to land. No pressure to talk.
Coach-led, beginner-friendly angling. We keep it simple, safe and steady — and we go at your pace.
Casting, baiting, waiting, noticing. The routine is the point — it helps the nervous system settle.
People often leave feeling calmer, more capable, and more connected — without having to perform.
Three ways to get involved.
We're building a social enterprise model: when funding is available, we can offer funded places to those who need them most. Paid options help keep the programme running.
Calm, coach-led sessions for people who benefit from a steady outdoor environment. When funding is available, we assess if a funded place is right — otherwise paid options are available.
Skills-led coaching for children and adults — including neurodivergent anglers and hands-on learners. Confidence through doing.
A community carp league focused on consistency, enjoyment and belonging. Separate from the wellbeing work.
A calm, outcome-focused option you can refer into.
We work with schools, local authorities, NHS services and community organisations. If you need a low-pressure, structured provision that's safe and beginner-friendly, we'll make it straightforward.
- • Clear delivery model and session structure
- • Calm, non-clinical language
- • Evidence-friendly feedback and simple outcomes
- • Safeguarding and risk-aware delivery
Quick answers, plain English.
If you're unsure, just ask. We'll keep it simple.
No. We're not a clinical service. We're a calm, coach-led outdoor programme that helps people feel steadier through routine, skill-building and time by the water.
Not at all. We're beginner-friendly and we teach the basics properly, at a safe pace.
People aged 8+ who aren't in crisis, but aren't coping brilliantly — including young people (often neurodivergent/SEND), adults under pressure, and those who struggle in traditional settings.
When funding is available, we assess whether a funded place is right for you. If not, paid sessions are available. Just get in touch and we'll explain your options.
