Substance, an independent social research organisation, has responsibility for the survey. The survey was introduced to the public several weeks ago as an online questionnaire, using a press release and member email distributed by the Angling Trust. The survey is a key component of a 3-year research angling research programme coordinated by Substance and funded by the Big Lottery. For more information about the research, visit
www.anglingresearch.org.uk (there is also a link to the questionnaire on this website)
The questionnaire has been very successful thus far (1200+ responses); however, anglers from a variety of backgrounds and interests need to be included for the findings to be representative of the many different forms of angling that exist. To this end, Substance is asking organisations with an interest in angling to help us with promotion & distribution of the questionnaire website. Your regional angling and private angling (e.g. friends & family) networks are likely to be very helpful in this regard.
Substance, a not-for-profit social research company, is using a questionnaire to survey anglers in England & Scotland about important aspects of their participation, including how often they go angling, why they go angling and what species they try to catch. The survey is open to ALL ANGLERS – coarse, game or sea anglers; match, specimen or pleasure anglers.
The research aims to collect a representative body of evidence about angling participation. The evidence is likely to strengthen the many claims that have been made about the importance of angling to communities and the natural environment.
You can help simply by completing a questionnaire.
Please note that:
• All data collected is strictly confidential and will only be used by Substance for this research programme; and
