Substance has worked with Get Hooked on Fishing for a number of years and Dr Adam Brown is a recognised leader in the field of angling research, in particular the social and community benefits of angling.

Get Hooked on Fishing, with help from Substance researchers, has evidenced the important role fishing can play in supporting the social and personal development of young people.

The charity’s work was recently featured on a Granada news report, which you can watch by clicking on this link
