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.
The Callum Wylie Fund is dedicated to:
- Supporting neurodiverse young people through education and into meaningful work opportunities.
- Helping reduce the risk of suicide among children and young people by funding preventive initiatives and crisis intervention programs.
The Callum Wylie Fund seeks to impact young lives through diverse, supportive projects such as:
- Outdoor Activities: Funding for activities that engage neurodiverse individuals in outdoor settings, providing social and developmental benefits.
- Crisis Intervention: Programs that offer crisis support to young people, particularly those at risk of self-harm or suicide.
- Employment Support: Initiatives that help neurodiverse young people prepare for, find, and thrive in employment.
- Employer Education: Programs that educate employers on supporting neurodiverse young people in the workplace.

- Non-registered charitable community groups
- Not-for-profit Limited Companies
