Hill House / Seb's Foundation Dodgeball · 14 March 2024

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

Seb’s Foundation was established in memory of a old Hill boy – Seb Adeniran-Olule who was a professional rugby player with Quins with the world at his feet, but who sadly committed suicide in 2016. The charity’s aims were broadened in 2023 to helping schools further their Mental Health provision, which include education schemes and support programmes that will train teachers and sports coaches in Mental Health First Aid, provide resources, workshops, pupil assemblies and parent seminars for schools such as ours.

Seb’s Foundation is the Hill's house charity, and this week's fundraising will be put back into boosting the mental health educational provision at Wellington. The money raised will fund the resources for next year’s L6th Mental Health Ambassadors attending the Mental Health First Aid course as well as providing a facilitator. This education is vital in empowering those ambassadors to make a real difference in boarding houses. To provide another level of support and advice for those struggling, and pass on their education and advice to those around them.

The Hill are playing dodgeball from 7am till 10pm and challenging all comers - students, staff and parents.

Don’t dodge it, talk about it
