Athy Anglers will be running a charity match in aid of Willow Community Counselling Services on Saturday 29th July. All proceeds from the entry fee to the match will be donated to Willow to support their vitally important community work.

If you can’t fish but would still like to support Willow, head on over to their GoFundMe @ https://gofund.me/853ef03a

Athy & District Anglers Club are delighted to partner with Vivado for sponsorship of this match. All prizes on the day will be provided by Vivado, and we are very greatful for their support for such an important cause! Check out their great range of angling supplies on their website.

Willow offer free, self referential counselling to any in need in the Athy & greater Kildare areas. Due to an annual funding deficit, they are at risk of having to cease operations through to the end of the year. We are trying to do what little we can to help them keep things running, and continuing to provide the crucial mental health support services we so often lack in Ireland.

For this match, we will have the entire stretch of our Grand Canal match stretch open, so 24 anglers can come and show their support!
