Sebastians Action Trust Presentation
(photos still to be added)
Nothing is worse than outliving your children, except knowing you
are going to outlive them.
Sebastian was diagnosed with a Wilms tumour at the age of 7. During his battle
with his illness he took part in many fund raising activities and showed great
courage and maturity. He always had a positive attitude and inspired all those
who met him, even though he was so young he always sought out opportunities
to help others riddled with disease. Despite enduring many different treatments
he passed away two years later. Out of his death though, Sebastians Action
Trust was born.
It is a charity that specializes in caring for families who possess a seriously ill
child. Two of the most vital aspects of the charity are providing holidays and
support for families whose children suffer from life limiting or threatening
illnesses. They have a holiday home called The Bluebells and families can go
there to enjoy a stress free holiday where their needs are catered for, as it is a
purpose-built holiday home.
What would the money provide?
The money will provide the funds with a sensory garden where families can
spend time their relaxing and taking in their surroundings, once built it will
require minimum upkeep and will be long lasting so those far in the future
can enjoy it to. We asked one family what they thought of the sensory garden
idea, “The sensory garden would provide a peaceful place to gather your
thoughts, and the aroma of the different plants will remind you of past and
present memories.” We have no idea what these families are going through but
anything that can enhance the time the have left is sure to be a positive thing.
The garden will not help just one family it will provide a space for all those
supported by the charity a stress free environment to relax.
Giving current economic conditions even though Sebastains has never benefited
from the government they are clearly not likely to benefit in the future. Also
due to current financial times donations from the public are decreasing due
to everyone having to tighten their belts. The sensory garden would be such a
success for the charity and it needs your money to do it!
Why did we choose Sebastians?
The scheme is such an amazing opportunity to do something great for a charity
but with so many worthy charities out there it was hard to pick just one.
Sebastians was such a local charity and we figured if we managed to place
a winning bid the money would really make such a difference to the charity.
Furthermore Holly has younger siblings and the thought of anything happening
to one of them has really brought this close to her heat. Not only is it terrible
for a parent to lose a child but it is also terrible for a brother or sister to lose a
sibling and Sebastians allows the whole family to make the most of the time they
have left with their loved one.
Our team asked questions to several families concerning how the charity helps
them so that we made sure we chose the right charity to support with our
bid. Here is one set of answers, for protection reasons the family will remain
anonymous.
How long has your family had a relationship with Sebastians?
“My family and I have known everyone at Sebastians Action Trust since 2007.”
How has Sebastians helped your family?
“The trust has helped us in so many amazing ways, they supplied transport
to and from hospitals for essential treatments/appointments, they have often
helped us with finances and have given us breaks away which the whole family
were in need of, the trust also organizes the most amazing sibling days and
Christmas parties which my children attend every year and have the time of their
lives. Not only do the team offer all of this practical support they are also there
for the emotional side too, the team are always only a phone call away.”
What would the life of your family be like without Sebastians?
“I think it would utter chaos and very stressful, Jane and the team are amazing
and make a huge difference to families like my own! It’s just knowing that you
always have that fantastic support there. “
What is special about Sebastians that makes it unique?
“As u may know Jane gates (Sebastians’ mum) has been through the saddest
experience of losing her son Sebastian, because of what she and her family
have been through she completely understands how the families that they
supporting feel! Also Sebastians wish was for a purpose built holiday home to
be built to give families like mine a chance to take a holiday without the worry
of equipment and paying cancellation fees etc. The house is named Bluebells and
it’s fantastic it has everything you need and more! The team at Sebastians actions
are like part of our family now and we couldn't be without them.”

SATRO Presentation
Vote for SATRO Construction Skills
Bus
I
went to East Surrey college for an interview for painting and decorating. I
took my folder along with me [from the SATRO Construction Bus] - this really
helped. The interviewer had a brief look at the folder and then asked me some
questions. She said can I have a look at the folder again and after looking at
it she said this was very good and that I have a place at the college. I think
the main reason for getting into college was the folder and doing the course..
The folder and course has really helped and will be good in the future for
other interviews and getting jobs. I have learnt lots of
skills including painting, tiling, plumbing, plastering, woodwork, grouting
and bricklaying.
I
have really enjoyed the SATRO construction course this year and it has helped
me decide about the future

RASASC presentation
The Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre
Our names are Hannah Bass, Georgia Bousfield and Charlie Geary. We would like to propose
a bid for our charity: The rape and sexual abuse support centre in Guildford. This registered
charity helps around four thousand people a year, in our community cope with the effects
of rape and sexual abuse. RASASC are also trying to make people more aware of the cause.
It doesn’t tend to be publicised very much even though there are around 50,000 rapes every
year in the UK alone.
Have you ever given money to cancer research, to children in need or to a charity for
disabled children? But how many people have ever given to a charity to help victims of rape
and sexual abuse? From the statistics we can tell it is not a very well-known or popular
cause even though so many people are affected by it. It’s not anybody’s fault but, the fact
is, people are embarrassed to talk about rape and sexual abuse. It’s just the society that we
live in.
However, if we come to the realisation that it is happening, we can really help people who
have experienced rape and sexual abuse. You could make a real difference to a person living
only a mile or two away. The rape and sexual assault support centre is making a stand for
those adults and teenagers who do live in constant fear of their abuser. Many adults have
been abused as children and will come forward to RASASC to overcome the effects of abuse
they have suffered all their lives.
Nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks, self-blame and strains on relationships are just some
of the many effects that victims must deal with.
RASASC offers two main services to victims. The first is counselling. This offers a safe
environment where survivors can talk to an accepting, honest and empathetic, trained
counsellor. They can talk about their innermost thoughts and feelings without the fear of
judgement or recrimination. This enables a victim to feel that there is someone there for
them. They can start their journey to overcome anxieties. Counselling is offered to every
person over sixteen. They can be male or female. Their other service is a helpline. This is for
victims of any age. RASASC have had seven year olds phoning the helpline.
It takes a lot of courage for someone to talk about what has happened to them and the
helpline makes it that little bit easier. Even if they just need someone to listen. A 50 minute
counselling session costs RASASC £35 and victims are asked to make a donation of £10-£35.
But RASASC has never turned anyone away on this basis.
This is where you could really help. Many victims are students, teenagers or people on low
income. They don’t feel like they can come for help because they can’t afford it. If we did
win the grant for our charity RASASC have said they will make a special fund with the money
for those who are not in a financial state to donate for their counselling. This creates the
possibility for a student or teenager to have a counselling session from £1. Just think. In
some cases it could stop someone from taking their own life. This also enables any money to
go directly to help those in need.
We went to visit RASASC’s offices and we were inspired by the true and honest volunteers,
workers and counsellors who dedicate themselves to help these people. I think the most
important aspect of the visit was the overall feeling of care and support that you felt even as
a visitor. It made you believe that this organisation, even though fairly small, was making a
huge difference to people’s lives.
We also visited the solace centre in Cobham were they take forensic evidence from rape
victims and keep samples so that a victim could have the opportunity to prosecute an
attacker. As well as that, we went to the Guildford crown courts and looked round the
facilities they have for rape victims. It gave us an understanding of the stages that a victim
goes through. And it is awful for them, but knowing that RASASC goes to every effort to
make it better really gave us passion to help the charity.
As they are not government funded, the organisation exists by means of donations from the
public, occasional business sponsorships and the proceeds of fundraising events. RASASC
desperately need more money, so that they can move offices, and expand their counselling
service. Some victims have to wait for up to six months before they can begin counselling
sessions.
Imagine after having something terrible happen to you, when you finally have the courage
to talk to someone about it, you have to wait for six months before you can do so. So when
you need to talk to someone, RASASC will listen. When you decide to take a stand, to let
your voice be heard, RASASC will support you. When you finally have the strength to speak
out, RASASC will give you the courage to do so.
Every contribution helps a victim to become a survivor.
