The Angling Trust is the national governing body for the sport of angling in England and operates as an environmental NGO focused on representing anglers and promoting fishing within a healthy aquatic environment. It engages with both saltwater and freshwater environments and collaborates with partner NGOs, including its sister organization Fish Legal, to advocate for environmental protection and to influence policy and stakeholders. Headquartered in Leominster, England, the organization has 51-200 employees and relies on a national network of volunteers and clubs, including over 2,500 club and fishery members representing more than 600,000 individuals. Over the past year, the Angling Trust introduced nearly 40,000 children and families to angling and engaged a further 20,000 primary school children through its Reel Education programme. The Trust maintains partnerships with public bodies such as DEFRA and the Environment Agency, launched an online training system in 2025, and participates in events like the World Recreational Fishing Conference 2026.
