Get the bivvy up to support our NHS
A keen catfish angler is calling on other anglers to throw up the bivvy and spend a night in the garden this Friday, to show support for the NHS.
Fifty-five-year-old Steve Stewart, who is a member of the Catfish Conservation Group, came up with the idea after seeing a post from a friend on Facebook, who had set their bivvy up out the back of the house to get their fishing fix.
Dorking based Steve told Angling Times:
“A light bulb went off for me this morning, when I noticed my friend’s Facebook post.
“I thought how cool would it be if the fishing community could come together as a group to support our NHS staff.”
Steve also revealed that like so many others the NHS is very close to his heart…
“It’s a personal one for me as my daughter is a front line worker.
“A great deal of us are sat at home, some with children that need amusing. So as anglers lets show our support this Friday in a way we know how.
“If anyone can make a small donation, I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated.”
Steve has set up a JustGiving page and aims to raise £500 for NHS staff, click the link to donate
