A host of celebs and reality TV stars are set to flock to Ascot next month in support of a local charity celebrating their 20th anniversary.
Sebastian’s Action Trust, is a organisation dedicated to providing emotional, social and practical support to seriously ill children and their families in Berkshire, Hampshire and beyond.
In collaboration with Ascot United FC and Sellebrity Soccer, they will be bringing together some of the biggest names in entertainment to bring awareness and further support for the charity.
The event will take place at Ascot United FC on Sunday, July 7 at 3pm.
Celebrities confirmed to take part in the match on the day include Calum Best, Jake Wood, Dan Osborne, Georges Berthoneau, Arthur Poremba, Dean Gaffney, and Billy Brown.
According to the charity, the club has a strong connection to the family that set up Sebastian Action Trust in memory of their son who passed away in 2003.
Charity Fundraiser from Sebastian's Action Trust, Megan Lowden said: “The family are from Ascot and Sebastian himself played at Ascot United FC when he was a boy so holding it at the club holds a very special meaning.
“We’ve never done anything on this scale before so we are all so excited to be raising awareness for the charity.
“By working with Sellebrity Soccer and sponsored by local company Concept Financial Planning this event seeks to make a meaningful impact in the community and support families who have children with a life-limiting illness.
"This promises to be an unforgettable experience for soccer fans and supporters of charitable causes."
A spokesperson from Ascot United FC said: “Ascot United Football Club are honoured to host the Sellebrity Soccer Match in aid of our local charity Sebastians Action Trust on Sunday 7th July. Ascot United is set to be filled to its capacity for this event with some exciting names across the show business sector.
“The match, organised alongside Sellebrity Soccer, will raise awareness for the wonderful work and support Sebastians Action Trust offer to children and families who need them. As a club we support the Charity and look forward to what is set to be a fantastic day.”
Sellebrity Soccer organises large-scale celebrity football matches to raise money for charities and worthy causes.
This will be the third time in two years that the organisation will hold an event across East Berkshire.
On Sunday, January 8, Jake Wood, Dan Osborne, Georges Berthoneau and Arthur Poremba were among those to take to the pitch at Sandhurst FC for the fundraising group ‘A New Hope for Ethan’ under the umbrella of Brain Tumour Research.
