The University of York's American Football club, the York Centurions will be growing some truly terrible moustaches and beards this Movember in aid of an amazing Foundation that is very close to the hearts of many of our current and former players.

The Charlie Watkins Foundation does some truly outstanding work in helping young people with mental health issues and raising awareness for mental health.

Charlie Watkins was only 22 when he took his life in March 2017. Sadly, Charlie never recovered from the tragic loss of his mother when he was only nine years old. Charlie is one of many examples of young people who suffer from mental health issues today, and the Charlie Watkins Foundation aims to raise funds for trustees of the foundation to better support young people suffering from mental illness problems.

So in an effort to do anything we can to help this fantastic Foundation, the York Centurions will be asking for donations to the Charlie Watkins Foundation in support of their facial hair growth. Any donations would be hugely appreciated and would go a long way to helping combat this most destructive of issues.
