Charity of the year winner 2025/26
Anthony Seddon Fund
We are proud to announce that The Anthony Seddon Fund has been selected as Ladysmith Shopping Centre’s Charity of the Year for 2025/2026.
Based in Ashton-under-Lyne, the Anthony Seddon Fund is a grassroots mental health charity dedicated to improving the mental wellbeing of people across Tameside. Through peer support, wellbeing workshops, community events, and open conversations, they provide a vital lifeline for those struggling with mental health challenges.
Anthony Seddon Fund:
“We are a Peer Support Mental Health Charity, based in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester. Founded in 2014 in memory of Anthony Seddon, who struggled with bipolar disorder and tragically passed away in 2013, we provide a safe and welcoming environment where individuals can come to talk, connect, and receive support.
While we do not offer counselling or therapy, we create a space where people feel heard and supported. We’re known for our friendly, non-judgemental approach, and yes, we make a great cup of tea!
Our services include a range of activities designed to reduce isolation and promote positive wellbeing, including peer support groups, holistic therapies, and creative activities. If we’re not the right fit for you, we’ll do our best to direct you to the appropriate service or support.”
Over the next 12 months, we’ll be working closely with the charity to raise funds BUT most importantly awareness through a series of events, activities, and campaigns right here at Ladysmith. From pop-up stalls and community initiatives to seasonal fundraising drives, we’ll be inviting shoppers and visitors to join us in supporting this important cause.
Stay updated via our social media channels and website to see how you can get involved and help make a difference in our community.
Together, let’s champion mental health and support the incredible work of the Anthony Seddon Fund.
