The
British
Disabled Angling Association (BDAA)
is a registered
charity set up in 1996 to develop fishing opportunities for
disabled people. We were created following increased calls for
the formation of a group to develop coarse, sea and game
fishing opportunities for people with disabilities.
We
are supported by the English
Federation of Disability Sport and Environment
Agency and, as
the country’s leading disability angling charity, have a
coveted place on a unique ‘Angling Participation Project
Group’. This Group brings together Government, Sport
England, the Angling Trade Association and many others in a
bid to promote angling and put half a million new converts
onto riverbanks and still waters during the next three years.
With
almost 9 million disabled people in the UK, we want to make
sure that thousands of disabled adults and children, be they
beginner or expert, can access the sport of angling.
Each
year, valuable support is received from many celebrities,
other angling organizations, disability groups, individuals
and disabled people which enables us to continue
to widen participation in angling by disabled people.

members require further information on disability angling,
