Series 1 - We're talking to...

#CWTPodcast

Welcome to the Charlie Waller Podcast, a space where we talk openly about all things mental health. Series 1 – ‘We’re talking to…’ – is all about getting to know the Charlie Waller Trust and its founders, friends, and family. We’ll have intimate chats with people who knew Charlie Waller himself or have been involved in supporting our work for children and young people’s mental health.

Think the likes of Mark Durden-Smith, our Trustee, Sam Harrison of Sam’s Riverside, and athlete Jake Wightman. These people, we feel, have incredible stories to tell about their lives, experiences of struggling with their own mental health, and their achievements as they’ve navigated the battle with anxiety, depression, and more.

Inspiring, honest, and brave – we hope you gain just as much from listening to these people as we did from talking to them.
