Veterans getting hooked!
We hold regular angling sessions for former military
personnel at the UK’s only indoor fishing centre, near Wigan.
The sessions promote physical activity within a relaxing
environment and encourages the veterans to socialise with like-minded people
and get the support they need.
Friends
and family are also made welcome at the sessions, which are supported by money
given to Wigan Council by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund.
Councillor Jenny Bullen, lead member for armed forces in
Wigan, said: “Wigan Council received over £300k from the Ministry of
Defence to go towards services providing support for the armed forces
community.

Cast North West celebrates 10 years!
On the 12th November 2106 we celebrated 10 years of Cast North West..
Can I first thank all who attended and especially all the Staff at Cast.
To my surprise they had purchased a painting designed with the help of David Pye. The painting is of the journey of Cast, from the early days to now! WoW!! What a moment which I will always remember. The painting helps me understand how far Cast has come and appreciate all the important people who have help me in this journey.
Everybody had a great night as you will see. All singers were fantastic and made the event so special. Michael McIlorum of Wigan Warriors presented signed shirts for two long standing volunteers, who have helped Cast along this journey.
