MENU © SINCE 1711 Book now SEBASTIAN'S ACTION TRUST CHRISTMAS IN JULY 6th Aug 2021 Share this Ascot Racecourse Supports was delighted to once again play host to the Sebastian’s Action Trust Christmas in July party on Saturday, 31st July 2021 which welcomed over 600 family members. The event had a carnival theme with entertainment including stilt walkers, a circus skills workshop, steel band, pony rides, reptile corner and much more. Volunteers from the charity and staff from Ascot Racecourse were on hand to ensure the families enjoyed a relaxed day with their children; most of whom are suffering from a life-limiting illness. Santa also made a special appearance; handing out bespoke gifts for each child which the staff at the charity thoughtfully choose and wrap to suit the needs and abilities of each child. The sheer delight of the children was clear to see and it is testament to the charity’s dedicated staff who ensure their every need is catered for. We at Ascot Racecourse are just delighted to be able to facilitate and play a part in such a joyous and important occasion. Achieving a successful party of this magnitude does not happen without great teamwork; we were delighted to once again have the supportive collaboration of Ascot Racecourse to bring about the 2021 Christmas in July party. This flagship event is always the highlight of the year for so many of our beneficiaries but this year it has been especially poignant after the past 18 months of isolation, challenge and uncertainty. The joy of families being reunited with others from the Trust’s ‘family of families’ was particularly evident; the racecourse was the perfect backdrop for a day of fun, laughter and enjoyment. We remain so grateful to all at Ascot Racecourse for partnering with us on this special occasion JANE GATES OBE, CEO OF SEBASTIAN’S ACTION TRUST GALLERY OTHER NEWS 19 Nov 21 STARS DESCEND ON ASCOT FOR GRADE 2 CONTESTS 18 Nov 21 NOVEMBER RACING WEEKEND GETS UNDERWAY ASCOT WINS GROUP LEISURE & TRAVEL AWARD Sign-up to receive news and offers from Ascot If you would like to receive information about events, new products and special offers from Ascot Racecourse, please enter your email address here.
