Dorking-based charity's fly fishing day returns to Guildford to raise funds for children in Darfur
A Dorking-based charity’s much-anticipated fly fishing day returns to Guildford this autumn.
The event, held by Kids for Kids, takes place on Saturday, October 11 at the stunning Park Lake, part of the Duke of Northumberland’s private Albury Estate in Surrey.
Widely considered one of the county’s best kept secrets, this tranquil 1.5-acre lake offers a truly exclusive experience for those wishing to enjoy a peaceful day’s fishing in a glorious countryside setting.
With sole access to the lake for the day, this event is not only a rare opportunity to fish at such a sought-after location, but also a chance to make a lasting difference to children in one of the world’s most desperate regions.
While the event offers a memorable day out for fishing enthusiasts of all levels, it is a fantastic way to raise urgently needed funds for children in Darfur, Sudan, where conflict, displacement, and famine are placing countless lives in peril.
The region is now facing catastrophic levels of food insecurity, with children under five particularly at risk of severe acute malnutrition.
The World Food Programme has warned of a devastating famine, and humanitarian access remains critically limited due to ongoing violence.
At a time when basic food, medicine, and clean water are out of reach for so many families, your support has never been more urgently needed.
Funds raised from the event will go directly towards providing Kids Kitchen Kits – containing essential items such as lentils, pulses and groundnuts – to help provide vital nutrition to children who are severely malnourished.
When possible, Dorking-based charity Kids for Kids have also included seeds for planting, as well as medicine and veterinary drugs. So far, Kids for Kids have reached 45 of our 110 villages and are currently targeting 40 more.
Whether you are a seasoned angler or have never picked up a rod, all are welcome. Qualified fly fishing instructors will be on hand throughout the day to offer guidance and support, and all tackle is provided.
The lake will be specially stocked with rainbow trout, offering excellent sport for all participants.
The day is also an ideal occasion for entertaining clients, enjoying quality time with family, or simply treating yourself to a peaceful and fulfilling day out.
Guests will enjoy full hospitality, with breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, hot drinks and homemade cakes served throughout.
