Swim Serpentine for Seb's Foundation

Daniel Lewis is raising money for Seb's Foundation

Swim Serpentine 2025 · 20 September 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

Passionate about transforming young lives Seb’s Foundation was established 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. 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. Seb’s Foundation was formed following the death of a young man of 20 years old who had a passion for rugby. It was created to bring hope to others from the tragedy of his death, to provide for other young people the opportunities that he was fortunate to enjoy.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This September I'll be taking part in Swim Serpentine 2025, raising money for Seb's Foundation.

Seb died by suicide aged 20. He had attended two prestigious rugby-playing schools; 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’s Foundation was established to help other people in his memory. We want to make sure that fewer people feel they cannot share that they are struggling, and fewer families suffer the pain of losing a cherished loved-one.

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.
