Together we can make a difference
To encourage young people to speak openly about mental health, give them the confidence to seek help, and equip them to enhance their mental health and wellbeing. Find out more about Charlie.
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.
