Are you helping youngsters to fish?

Calling all members keen to introduce children to fishing. This year, EFTTA has set aside 15% of EFTTA profit in order to support youth fishing projects in Europe as part of its annual Youth Grant Scheme. It now wants to hear from youth fishing projects that are supported by member companies. Under the terms of the scheme, projects supported by member companies can apply for match-funding from EFTTA.

Projects organisers need to apply to the EFTTA Board for the match-funding. They need to show proof of financial support from an existing EFTTA member company as part of their application, so EFTTA is urging member companies to encourage the projects they support to contact the Board. EFTTA will match the contributions of the member company up to a maximum of €2000.

Says EFTTA Team & Membership Assistant Vicki Seymour: “If you know of any youth fishing schemes that would benefit from this award please pass on this information. We would like to build on the success of previous years and look forward to welcoming new groups to the scheme.”
The closing date for applications is 1st October 2010. To apply for the EFTTA Youth Grant contact victoriaseymour@eftta.com
