THE ANTHONY SEDDON FUND

The Anthony Seddon Fund covers the Tameside area. We are a peer support mental health projects charity. We facilitate a daily peer support mental health drop-in for customers at our Centre, and crisis support service. We also facilitate a number of therapeutic and holistic therapies for people with mental health issues, and their family, friends and carers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
