Sebastian's Action Trust

Overall Info

Sebastian’s Action Trust is an incorporated charity based in Bagshot, Surrey. Developed from the vision of one very special nine-year-old boy and launched just twelve days before he died of cancer in 2003, Sebastian’s aim for the charity was to provide a place where life-limited children and their families can holiday together away from the rigours of hospital appointments, gruelling treatment schedules and prying eyes. He wanted to create a private place where memories could be made which would last a life-time, even if that life was to be cruelly cut short.

In 2011, Sebastian’s vision was finally realised when The Bluebells, the UKs first purpose built respite holiday home, was completed. Since opening in July 2011, The Bluebells has given over 200 families the opportunity to spend precious time together.

Our work now extends into emotional and practical support for families during the darkest days of their lives. This work is delivered by trained Outreach Workers who work with families to ascertain their needs and to deliver bespoke support, aimed at easing their suffering and isolation

Our work is primarily focused across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Wiltshire and Hampshire, although we do also support families from further afield.
