Seb's Foundation

Seb died by suicide aged 20. He had represented England playing rugby at every age group level and received a contract from Harlequins when he left school. Seb was intelligent and talented academically, was popular with his friends, kind, compassionate and always making people laugh. Seb was adored by a loving family and no one knew anything was wrong.

Seb’s Foundation was established to help other people in his memory by giving young people a greater understanding of mental health, the skills to recognise if they are struggling and the strategies needed to cope when facing challenges on their adolescent journey.

We deliver Mental Health First Aid courses for schools, clubs and academies. This training equips staff, coaches and parents with the skills to provide wrap-around support for young people in a variety of settings. Creating a safe space for young people to talk and feel seen, heard and that they matter is integral to challenging the stigma and discrimination that exists around mental health.

In addition to our work in mental health first aid, we support young people from disadvantaged families to access the highest quality sporting and academic opportunities.
