seb's foundation
Purley
Passionate about transforming young lives Seb’s Foundation was established in
2016 to foster hope and inclusion, by using the power and positivity of sport
and education to remove barriers and enable young people from socially
disadvantaged backgrounds to fulfil their ambitions and flourish. By providing
scholarships, rugby training programmes, as well as workshops to develop mental
health and self-esteem to young people who wouldn’t usually have access to them,
our aspiration is to see them develop and thrive. Our aim is to provide
opportunities, open new horizons and nurture aspirations that would otherwise
have been closed to them and beyond their reach. Child poverty in the UK There
were 4.3 million children living in poverty in the UK in 2019/20* In a classroom
of 30 children, 9 were living in poverty** Children are the group of the
population most likely to be in poverty*** Child poverty has been rising in both
absolute and relative terms for nearly a decade*** Children in poverty have to
fight harder for their futures. It has serious implications for their academic
attainment, their social networks and their mental health. Our work is rooted in
investing in those futures.
