Fundraising

Thank you Kenmore!

Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland would like to extend a huge vote of thanks to all at the Kenmore Hotel in Perthshire for the sumptuous dinner and auction they held to raise funds for us in mid-October 2008. The occasion was the end of the salmon fishing season at the hotel on the banks of Loch Tay and over £5,000 was raised towards 2009's programme of retreats.

Perthshire fundraiser for CfR

On 15th October the Kenmore Hotel in Perthshire is to host the traditional closing dinner to mark the end of the salmon fishing season. This year the closing dinner will raise funds for Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland, marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month with an angling theme.

£15,000 + fundraiser “will make a huge difference”

Happy to be fishing to help CfR Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland was delighted to be the beneficiary of funds well in excess of £15,000 thanks to London-based recruitment company Prima Principia’s recent annual charity fishing day at Dever Springs in Hampshire.

The day included fly fishing for 45 people and also a lunch auction which was extremely generously supported. The monies raised will go towards funding idyllic weekend fly fishing retreats for women who have, or have had, breast cancer.

Fundraising for CfR

Over the weekend of May 17th and 18th 2008, Keith Passant of North Wilts Fly-Fishing Club with support from club members completed a 24 hour fly-tying session at the Orvis Shop, Burford. Read on for Keith's account of his marathon challenge, for which Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland is immensely grateful.
