The people on the bank
A small team with a big heart for the outdoors — qualified, caring, and genuinely in it for the people we work with.
The faces behind Mending Lines
Chris Parker
Started Mending Lines after fishing helped him through his own mental-health journey. Leads sessions, mentoring and the day-to-day of getting people on the bank.
“Watching someone relax for the first time in months — that's the whole reason.”
Jordan
Jordan joined Mending Lines in 2025, inspired by its positive impact on the local community. As an advisor, he works alongside Chris to help shape the organisation's vision and support its continued growth, while sharing a passion for carp fishing.
“The greatest catch isn't a fish — it's seeing someone find their place.”
