Why Choose TASFund?
Support shaped by lived experience
The Anthony Seddon Fund is rooted in community, connection and peer support. We aim to offer a warm, informal and welcoming approach for people who may have struggled to access support elsewhere.
Peer-Led
Our support is shaped by people with lived experience of mental health difficulties, creating spaces where people can feel understood.
Community-Focused
We are based in the heart of Ashton-under-Lyne and work closely with local people, volunteers and partner organisations across Tameside.
Warm & Informal
We try to reduce barriers and make support feel approachable, friendly and human rather than clinical or complicated.
Supportive & Safe
Our team and volunteers work to create safe, welcoming spaces where people can talk, connect and access support at their own pace.
