In Charley's Memory
(UK, 1160805) Browse events
YTD Raised: £545.00
(UK, 1160805) We aim to make the 'invisible illnesses' of mental health matter. Our charity was founded after our founder's son, Charley, ended his life after battling with mental health illnesses for some years. There are increasing numbers of young people needing support with their mental health and we are passionate about supporting them and promoting well being and resilience for the young people and their families in our communities. We think that it's important to give young people tools to support their mental health but also to be able to access support in a timely fashion in whatever way suits them - so this will include email or text counselling. We want to help remove the stigma attached to mental health and ensure people have a voice. Speak up - don't struggle alone!
