An angler that started a leading charity to promote just how beneficial angling can be for people’s mental health is set to appear on a national TV show tomorrow.
Tackling Minds founder Dave Lyons will go in front of the cameras when he appears live on Channel 4s ‘Steph’s Packed Lunch’.
Hosted by journalist and TV presenter Steph McGovern, the segment will see Dave reveal the struggles he faced with alcohol addiction and how angling helped him on to his well-documented road to recovery.
