The Charlie Dallas Lancaster Foundation (CDLF) has got £1,500 from local housebuilder Barratt Homes Yorkshire East, to support in raising awareness of mental health services for people in York and North Yorkshire.

CDLF, a mental health charity dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging others to speak out about their own struggles, was set up after Charlie died in 2020, on what would have been his 39th birthday.

Afterwards his two sisters, partner and four friends set up the charity in order to continue his work and the legacy he left behind

The charity was established in May 2021 with the aim of aiding individuals in need by financing therapy and counselling sessions, thereby enabling them to access the assistance they required. CDLF hosts annual charity balls with the dual purpose of generating funds not only for their own charity but also for supporting other organisations that also provide mental health support and services.
