A gift in your will

Make good mental health your gift to the next generation

For nearly three decades, we’ve delivered our proven, practical and positive mental health training to those with responsibility for young people. We work with schools, colleges, universities and parents and carers to equip them with the skills, knowledge and confidence to help the young people in their care thrive.

We’ve made huge strides forward in the subsequent years, both as a charity and in society. There’s never been more openness and willingness to talk about mental health, but there’s still so much to be done.

Leaving a gift in your will means you can support young people’s mental health in the future, at no cost to you now.

Why leave a gift in your will to the Charlie Waller Trust?

It’s hard to convey just how beneficial leaving a gift in your will is. Large or small, your gift can help us plan and deliver mental health training and resources to those who need them most: the parents, carers, teachers and others who form support systems around children and young people.

Among many other things, you'll be helping us:

• Offer life-changing workshops to parents and carers of children with mental health issues.
• Give college and university staff the skills and knowledge to help students who may be struggling.
• Provide teachers with practical tools for supporting mental health in schools.

You'll be helping us create a world in which young people are confident to talk about mental health and to seek help when they need it.
