About us
The CWF was established after Charlie Watkins tragically took his own life in March 2017 at just 22. Charlie’s challenge with mental health is just one example of many young people who are facing mental health challenges today.

Our support
All funds raised through the CWF support charities and initiatives whose primary focus is to assist young people to overcome their challenges and to have better mental health.


Get involved
There are plenty of ways for you to volunteer your time to the CWF. All the money you raise goes directly to support young people across the UK to overcome their mental health challenges.
Transition Guides
The Charlie Watkins Foundation has worked in partnership with the Charlie Waller Trust to produce a range of Transition Guides to support young people as they head off to university.
