About The Trust

In the month before he died, Sebastian launched a new drive for his “Action Fund” to purchase a holiday home by the sea that would provide somewhere exclusively for families to spend precious time together, away from the hospitals and punishing treatment regimens that govern the lives of cancer patients.

Every year, more than one thousand children in the UK are diagnosed with some form of cancer. The demands of that diagnosis have a huge impact on the entire family, not just the patient. It invariably leads to a dramatic loss in family time together, inevitable emotional stress and fatigue affecting all members of the family and possible financial loss, as parents have to juggle work commitments with caring for a sick child.

Our aim is to try to alleviate such pressures on families at a time when they may be at their lowest ebb; exhausted physically, emotionally and financially.
