Since the Ted Senior Foundation was formed in 2018, £265,102.00 has been raised in Ted’s memory. This incredible amount is the result of the magnificent efforts of Ted’s friends and family who have run marathons, cycled hundreds of miles, hosted numerous events and donated more generously than we could have ever imagined. All in honour of a man who has left such an overwhelmingly positive legacy.

We are a registered UK charity championing good mental health and working to prevent suicide. The Foundation was set up after Ted Senior (aged 22) took his own life. He was a medical student following his dreams. In order to reach our aims and objectives we focus on three specific areas:

Ted’s Friends

At TSF, we are firm believers that the power of sport can be harnessed to improve mental wellbeing, we have therefore partnered with various Universities to bring the Ted’s Friends support scheme to life. The scheme takes the form of a network of fully trained ambassadors, working together to improve the overall mental health of their respective sports clubs. Ted's Friends are offered first-class training in mental health first aid, and once fully trained they act as the go-to person for anyone in the sports club who is struggling with their mental health.

Good Mental Health

We believe there is no health without mental health. By championing local and national events, and through social media campaigns, we aim to tackle stigma and promote a more open and empathic conversation on suicide and mental illness.

Bereavement Support

Having lost someone close to all of us at the Ted Senior Foundation, we understand how devastating it can be to the family and friends who are left behind. We currently partner with existing charities, such as the Support After Suicide Partnership, to offer timely support to those bereaved or affected by suicide.
