The 14th Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland retreat took place from 16-18th July at Kimbridge near Romsey in Hampshire. A 100% catch record was set in the beautiful Hampshire countryside as every participant caught a trout - a first for the programme! You can listen to CfR Chairman Jill Grieve speaking to BBC Radio Solent about the positive effect the programme has. Listen here on the BBCiplayer until Friday 23rd July. Jill's interview is 53.50mins into Jon Cuthill's show. 

The Board of Trustees of Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland met at the Countryside Alliance's London offices on Monday 5th July to celebrate our recently granted charitable status and to plan the next steps of the charity's development. We were delighted to raise a glass of pink fizz to all the ladies who have been through the unique CfR programme, and to all those yet to come.

Pictured are Sue Shaw and Jill Grieve of Casting for Recovery receiving a cheque for £5,000 from Gail and Mike Forbes, owner of the Forbes of Kingennie resort near Dundee. Gail and Mike held a fundraiser and auction for CfR earlier this year and were delighted to hand the cheque over to such a worthy cause. Thanks to Gail and Mike for their continued support and we look forward to September's retreat at Kingennie. Read CfR Trustee Jill Grieve's blog on our continuing support here
