Now, more than ever, Sebastian’s Action Trust’s support services are helping to ease the stresses faced by our beneficiaries as they continue to endure life in long-term lockdown. We need your support to help us continue to find innovative ways to provide vital support.

Situation
Our beneficiaries tell us we make the loneliest journey on earth more bearable. The Covid-19 pandemic has increased feelings of isolation as many of our beneficiaries continue to shield their immunocompromised children until a vaccination is available resulting in further marginalisation. We will provide the social, emotional and practical support that they desperately need – helping to connect them with others and promoting a sense of inclusion in our ‘family of families’.
Solution
In response to the pandemic, we have adapted our services to help ease the stresses faced by our beneficiaries as they endure life in long-term lockdown. Through embracing new ways of working remotely, we have connected with and supported parents and children. We provide one –to-one support as well as group activities, which facilitate contact with others living in similar circumstances. This will help to alleviate feelings of isolation, improve mental health and assist with family cohesion.
