How We Can Help

Find the Right Support for You

Whether you need a space to talk, support through difficult times or an activity to enjoy with others, explore the options below.

Why Choose TASFund?

Support That Starts With You

Sometimes the first step is a conversation, a shared activity or simply somewhere you feel comfortable. Our approach gives people space to build trust, find connection and explore what helps them.

Shared Understanding

Lived experience across our staff, volunteers and trustees helps shape a place where people are listened to with compassion and without judgement.

An Approachable First Step

You can come to our drop-in without a referral. If you are unsure which support is right for you, our team can talk through the options.

Room to Find Your Way

A chat, a creative activity or a peer support group can offer different ways to connect. You can explore what feels right for you.

Connections to Further Help

Our support is non-clinical. Where you need something different or additional, we can help you explore other services and routes to support.

A familiar face and a sense of belonging can be the beginning of something important.

The Year We Began

Rooted in our community

Quarterly figures cover recorded scheduled services, including SAFE Tameside. Attendances include repeat visits. Individual attendees are counted once within the period where their records can be matched.

I personally would be lost without The Anthony Seddon Fund. It has enhanced my life and led to a long period of stability with my illness.

Customer

The Anthony Seddon Centre was more than just a mental health charity for me. It was a refuge; one of the few places where I could feel safe and comfortable.

Anthony Seddon, whose memory inspired the creation of The Anthony Seddon Fund.

In Memory of Anthony Seddon

About TASFund

A Legacy of Hope, Community and Support

Anthony Seddon was a warm, caring person who would chat with anyone and always try to help. He made time for people; that spirit of kindness and connection lives on through the charity that bears his name.

Anthony lived with bipolar disorder from the age of 18 and died by suicide in March 2013. In July 2014, his family and friends founded The Anthony Seddon Fund, determined to create something positive in his memory and offer understanding and support to others.

Today, Anthony’s memory remains at the heart of our work. Through peer-led mental health support, wellbeing activities and bereavement groups, we create opportunities for people to connect, share their experiences and feel heard, supported and valued.
