The Anthony Seddon Fund

We are a peer-support mental health charity, providing support to people in our community who are living with mental health issues. We provide a range of activities including arts & crafts, music sessions, Reiki, Tai Chi and meditation as well as targeted support groups such as Hearing Voices, Suicide Bereaved Support and Who Cares? for family & friends of a loved one with mental health issues.

Our work in suicide prevention

We offer a drop-in support service 5 days per week & operate an open door policy. The majority of staff & volunteers have lived experience and have undergone Suicide Prevention training. We work closely with our local mental health services both primary & secondary care and have a mental health worker from the Liaison team based in our centre twice a week. We run a Suicide Bereaved Support group and the facilitators have  both Suicide Prevention and PABBS training.

Our current priorities

Our current priority is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals living with mental health challenges, ensuring immediate access without waiting lists. We are also committed to supporting the families and friends of those facing mental illness, offering them guidance and understanding. We extend our care to individuals affected by the loss of a loved one to suicide, helping them navigate their grief and find support during difficult times.
