Sebastian’s Action Trust has been in existence for nineteen years; ensuring that every one of the nearly six hundred families of seriously ill children they support receives the best possible care. The charity provides emotional, social, and practical support and remains present for them through the good days, the bad days and everything in between.

Since 2018, Ascot Racecourse Supports has been an active supporter of the charity via grant funding, raffle prizes and using its national platform to further raise the profile of its work. Ascot staff have also been able to participate in CSR days at the charity’s family outreach centre ‘The Woodlands’, in Crowthorne, Berkshire, helping with gardening and other volunteering duties

On Sunday 16th July 2023, the racecourse will host the charity’s annual ‘Christmas in July’ party for the fifth year running. This flagship event brings together the children and young people the charity cares for – some of whom will not live until December - and their families to have fun, spend time together and make memories that will last a lifetime.

The charity will have exclusive use of dedicated racecourse facilities in place for our Summer Mile Racing Weekend and is grateful for the collaboration and support of suppliers, entertainers, and concessionaires, who have generously agreed to return, or stay on until the Sunday for the families’ enjoyment.

In recognition of the event and as an advanced well done to the charity’s army of volunteers that will descend tomorrow to add sparkle to the day, we have named our 5.15pm race “The Ascot Racecourse Supports Sebastian’s Action Trust Handicap Stakes.”
