Anthony Seddon
Anthony was a lovely, warm young man with a brilliant sense of humour and a smile that could light up a room. He was popular, energetic, and intelligent, but sadly struggled with bipolar disorder from the age of 18.
Anthony struggled with a 12-year battle with the disorder, during which he was constantly in and out of the hospital, sometimes struggling to cope with the debilitating side effects of strong medications.
Anthony died by suicide on 31st March 2013. He was just 30 years old.
The Anthony Seddon Centre
Anthony’s family struggled to access adequate support in the aftermath of his death and vowed to continue his legacy by helping others in similar situations and by educating the wider population about mental health.
This has grown into what it is today, The Anthony Seddon Fund, through the sheer hard work and determination of Anthony’s family and all the dedicated volunteers over the last 10 years. If you’d like to see our journey from the start, please check out Our Journey Page.
The trustees, staff, and volunteers all bring their own lived experience into the mix to support people who are living with long-term mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders and PTSD.
Almost 10 years later, we are embedded in our local community, delivering a range of activities from our Centre and using our voice to influence mental health services and suicide prevention at the local and Greater Manchester levels.
The Aims of The Anthony Seddon Fund
- To provide a safe space that promotes social interactions and support networks to aid prevention, recovery and management of any mental health issue
- To positively influence service provision for those affected by mental health issues and their families, friends and carers by actively promoting and representing the views of people with lived experience
- To work in partnership with other organisations and agencies in meeting these objectives
