The Anthony Seddon Fund

Social Enterprise / CIC / Charity of the Year

The Anthony Seddon Fund are a Peer Support Mental Health Charity, providing a safe environment for you to come and chat. We do not offer counselling or therapy, but what we can do is offer a friendly, welcoming environment and listen extremely well. Plus we make a great cup of tea!

If we aren’t the right place for you, we endeavour to ensure you leave us with the information you need to find the correct service and support for you.

Manchester Bike Kitchen

Social Enterprise / CIC / Charity of the Year

Manchester Bike Kitchen has been operating across Tameside since 2022. Operating from our Hyde Hub we provide low cost repairs, servicing, training courses and advice to get more Tameside residents on their bikes. With support from Tameside Council we run Tea and Tinker which is aimed at older people to get them out of the house and having a brew, a chat and tinkering with bikes and MCR SHREDDERS with Tame Valley MTB Association to get young people out on mountain bikes onto the Tame Valley Loop to tackle anti social behaviour, lean skills and be taught trail side maintenance. In addition to all this we recycle and refurbish donated preloved bikes which we donate to others or sell to cover costs. We’d rather a bike on the road than landfill

Tameside Community Computers

Social Enterprise / CIC / Charity of the Year

Tameside Community Computers CIC is run solely by volunteers and operates on a not-for-profit basis believing that everything that comes in goes out again, whether this is through refurbishing or recycling. All donations that come in that can be refurbished are donated back out again, and anything that isn’t suitable due to age and damage extent is responsibly recycled by breaking them down to their core components and sent away to their respective recycling hubs around the country. As well as being proud of our being able to help those in Digital Poverty, we are just as proud that we do everything we can to reduce E-Waste to a bare minimum.
