Martin Wake, from Gosport, is preparing to take on a fishing species challenge, in aid of Tackling Minds, with the aim of raising £1,500.

Martin said fishing has played a vital role in helping him cope with his own mental health issues.
He is supporting Tackling Minds because the charity uses angling "to improve mental health, reduce loneliness and help people build confidence, friendships and a sense of purpose."
While fishing is the tool it uses, Tackling Minds aims to "help people find connection, confidence, purpose and community."
