Angling Development Board

The Angling Development Board (ADB) is the development arm of Angling Trust, the Governing Body for angling in England. It is supported by Sport England, British Waterways, the Environment Agency and Sports Coach UK.

What does the ADB do?

Working with partners, the ADB aims to establish an infrastructure to develop the sport of angling across England. This includes working with national, regional and local angling and non-angling organisations to:

• Develop policies
• Provide leadership
• Provide coach education and training
• Develop clubs and volunteers
• Establish regional development frameworks
• Establish a safe environment for young people to participate in angling

The benefits of this are:

• Increased participation
• Better quality clubs (through Clubmark accreditation)
• Increased club membership
• Increased numbers of qualified, licensed and active coaches
• More recognition and support for the development of angling
• Seamless participation frameworks and structures
