Help us upgrade our therapy pool AND double your impact 💙

Christopher spent the first three months of his life in hospital, while his parents stayed by his side, fighting to bring his seizures under control.

When they finally brought him home, they found a place to just be a family at The Bluebells.

“Whenever I talk about Bluebells, I always describe it as our safe space. It’s somewhere we don’t have to hide, explain ourselves, or worry about anything at all. We can simply be ourselves, surrounded by people who understand.” Christopher’s mum, Jade

Now, they visit each week, and the therapy pool is where Christopher can move, play and relax in ways that aren’t possible anywhere else.

This pool has supported families like Christopher’s for many years, and we’ve seen first-hand the difference it makes. We’re committed to keeping it the very best it can be for every family we support.

We’ve already secured funding to improve the changing rooms. Now we need your help to upgrade the pool itself.

Every donation will go directly towards the upgrade, and thanks to matched funding, your support will go twice as far.

We’ve had a bit of a refresh!

Our website has a fresh new look, designed to make it easier for families, volunteers and supporters to see what’s on, find what they need and get involved. You’ll also notice our logo and overall design have been updated to better reflect the welcoming, supportive community we are.

Take a look around and see the updates for yourself - we hope you like it! 💙

💜 Meet Bella and her mum Katie — an amazing mum we support and a wonderful part of our team here at Sebastian's Action Trust.

“On days when it feels impossible to venture out, The Bluebells facility is often the only place I can go. I am incredibly grateful for this sanctuary that allows us to escape the confines of our home and enjoy precious moments together as a family.”

Thanks to Sebastian’s Action Trust, families like Bella's can create memories, find support and feel part of a caring, welcoming community.

The match funding window is closing soon — every pound you give will be doubled. Please give what you can to make twice the difference.
