Looking to learn a little bit more about what each charity does? We’re here to shine a spotlight on all the good they do – and explain why showing support for these causes is so important in present day (and beyond!).

Mind

Mind recognise the importance of having those open, honest conversations around mental health – even if they’re uncomfortable. Everyone, from adults to children, deserves to get the mental health support and respect that best suits them, which is why Mind are on a mission to make a difference across England and Wales. Home of life-changing information and resources for all, Mind seek to make others feel less alone on their mental health journey, fighting to improve services offered across the UK for good.

Charlie Waller

Charlie Waller is a mental health charity in the UK, founded by the family of Charlie Waller, who suffered from depression and died by suicide in 1997. With a focus on the mental wellbeing of children and young people, the charity aims to provide parents, carers, teachers and communities with the tools to recognise and support those at risk, while empowering young people with the confidence they need to thrive. No one should feel like they’re alone on this journey, which is what the Charlie Waller charity is all about.

“At Charlie Waller, we work across schools, universities, families and workplaces to provide practical, evidence-based mental health training and resources – helping people to better understand and manage their mental wellbeing, and spot the early signs in those they are close to. At Flackstock, we’ll be hosting a small stand with our Heart to Art exchange – a space to pause, reflect, share and get creative– encouraging festivalgoers to express themselves and support one another through art and words.” - Hannah Vickery, CEO at Charlie Waller Trust.

“We’re so proud to be part of Flackstock and are grateful to Caroline’s family and friends for continuing to support Samaritans. One in four of us will experience suicidal thoughts at some point in our lives, so it’s crucial everyone knows help is available. The money raised will help our volunteers continue to provide emotional support, 24/7.” – Laura Woodcock, Head of Community & Events at Samaritans
