Forces CARP

Forces C.A.R.P is an angling project that helps wounded, injured and sick veterans with their recovery by introducing them to the sport of carp fishing.

One of our veterans got in touch earlier today, he’s bank side on a 48hr session and managed to land this 27lb sturgeon within an hour or so of setting up. Well done Gibbo. #carp #fishing #project #veterans #carpingtorecovery

It’s been a difficult year for us, we’ve had to cancel our programmes for safety reasons but we’ve adapted and carry out online video get togethers to keep in touch with our veterans. #carp #fishing #project #covid19 #adaptandovercome

A total of 145 🇵🇱 fighter pilots took part in the #BattleofBritain. Poles made up 5% of all RAF pilots during the battle. At the peak of the battle, Poles accounted for 13% of front-line fighter pilots. In October 1940, this rose to 20%. #BoBPoles80 #BoBPoles #BattleofBritain80

It’s Mental Health Awareness week with a focus on kindness. Sometimes that small gesture of kindness is the difference between someone having a rubbish day or a great day! Think before you do #mentalhealth #kindness #bekind
