The Callum Wylie Fund

In memory of Callum Wylie and his remarkable life, the Callum Wylie Fund was founded by Kevin and Charly Wylie to honour their son’s legacy.

This special fund exists to support young people with neurodiversity as they navigate school, transition into the workplace, and find belonging within their communities.

The fund also prioritises suicide prevention among children and young people under the age of 25, recognising the importance of mental health support during critical developmental years.
