Sebastian's Action Trust

In June 2001 at the age of 7, Sebastian Gates was diagnosed with a Wilms’ Tumour, a rare form of childhood cancer. Over the next two and a half years he endured twelve operations, a stem-cell transplant, scores of chemotherapy courses and radiotherapy. Sadly, Sebastian died on Christmas Eve 2003.

Through his own experiences Sebastian sought ways to make life better for others facing an uncertain future. This was to be his legacy - and this is what Sebastian’s Action Trust works to achieve.

Targets of £500,000 to build the house and £150,000 to furnish it, were initially set in 2004.

Due to revised building plans and an inevitable rise in costs our "all in" target is now £850,000 which means we need to raise £175,000 for the house.

Total amount raised so far: £810,000.00
