Sebastian’s Action Trust
Here for families of seriously-ill children. Always.
We are a charity developed from the last wish of one very special nine year old boy just twelve days before he died of cancer in 2003. In the last year we have supported more families than ever through respite breaks, outreach and specialist services together with our programme of events that connect our ‘family of families’.
About Us
Sebastian’s Action Trust is a charity founded in 2004 from the last wish of our founder who wanted to reach beyond the limitations of his own lifetime and illness to help others.
Family Support
Research tells us there are an estimated 49,000 children and young people in the UK living with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition (University of Leeds, 2011). We understand that this places enormous strain on families emotionally, financially and practically, which can be isolating and frightening.
Our Impact
Sebastian’s Action Trust has been here since 2004 to ensure that every one of the children, young people and families we support gets the best possible care.
Support us
Whether you hold a special fundraising event, take part in a daring challenge, give your time as one of our amazing volunteers, or make a donation, supporting the Trust is fun, friendly and fulfilling.

A message from our Head of Trustees
Twas the day before Christmas, a time to reflect on what Christmas means to us all. A time to spend with family, showing gratitude and loving, sharing and making people happy and of course, remembering the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. However, for some it is a time of quiet reflection, a time to […]
Bereavement Support at Sebastian’s Action Trust
“One thing people don’t realise when you lose a child, it’s not about the birthdays and the anniversaries. It’s the little things, writing a Christmas list and realising there’s one missing. Doing the school run and thinking there should be another drop off”. Jake was born in 2010 with lots of complex medical needs and […]
