The Big Fish

Win up to £1000 and land a days fishing with Paul Young! 

Paul with fish

The Big Fish is back – and this year we want hundreds of anglers to take part! Whether you're a seasoned angler or just want to try something new while raising money for Macmillan, the Big Fish is the event for you!

The event is taking place in fisheries across Scotland and Northern Ireland this summer. At each venue, participants will have the chance to win up to £1000, and one lucky angler will land a days fishing with Paul Young, presenter of tv show, Hooked on Fishing.

Last year's Big Fish raised £30,000 for Macmillan, but with your help we're sure we can raise even more this year. All the money we collect from the Big Fish will be used to fund vital local cancer services.

To register for the Big Fish, fill in our online application form or you can download an application form [pdf, 20kb] and send to: The Big Fish Team, Macmillan Cancer Support, 132 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3JD.
