A CHARITABLE foundation set up after former University of York student Charlie Watkins took his own life shortly after appearing on ITV’s Take Me Out has launched a new mental health support service.
'Chat with Charlie' provides confidential 1:1 support for University of Essex students needing help with their mental wellbeing. Essex-born Charlie's brother Harry set up the foundation to raise awareness of mental health problems and offer support to those suffering.
