Crowthorne-based charity Sebastian’s Action Trust has welcomed the new year with a £15,000 donation from David Wilson Homes. The housebuilder, who is building its Ashridge Grange development nearby in Wokingham, will see its funds distributed between the beneficiaries to help the charity to continue its work supporting families of seriously ill children from diagnosis throughout treatment and beyond.
Founded in 2004, the Sebastian’s Action Trust helps families of children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions by offering free emotional, social and practical support. The charity also offers outreach and respite care from its centres in Berkshire and Hampshire. The £15,000 donation will ensure the continued provision of these vital services, making sure they are always there for the families of seriously ill children.
Alison Evans, Head of Fundraising at Sebastian’s Action Trust, comments:
“This generous donation will be directed towards our Family Service team, which will allow us to sustain our ability to provide our beneficiaries with events and outreach services. These services enable our families to spend time making precious memories with loved ones, also ensuring we can continue to walk alongside families from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. We are grateful for the continued support from David Wilson Southern Counties, which has allowed us to start 2023 with a financially secure plan of support.”
Sebastian’s Action Trust’s long-standing partnership with David Wilson Southern Counties saw the charity receive nearly £70,000 in 2021, when the housebuilder embarked on a year-long fundraising mission to support its services.
Julian Hodder, Managing Director for David Wilson Southern Counties, adds: “We are pleased to have once again been able to support Sebastian’s Action Trust and provide a degree of stability amidst current economic challenges. I was able to meet some of the team at their outreach and respite centre in Berkshire to learn more about the charity’s plans for this year and where our donation will be distributed. We look forward to seeing the charity continue its hard work supporting families in the local community.”
