Sponsor a Child For Christmas in July

Sebastian’s Action Trust is inviting businesses, schools, community groups and individuals to sponsor a child to attend Christmas in July - our most popular event of the year.

More than 450 families of seriously-ill children and young people are due to attend this year’s event, which is taking place at the prestigious Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Every year, in the weeks leading up to our Christmas in July party, we encourage people to get into the Christmas spirit and organise fundraising activities to help us make the event a fantastic day for our families to remember and cherish.

Thames Valley Police (TVP) is launching a new service satisfaction survey which will ask the public to give feedback on their experiences when in contact with the force. 
From the 1st May 2019 TVP will be sending text messages to around 10,000 people a month who have contacted us to either report an incident or crime.
They will be asked to provide feedback on the response they received from the force.
The new text based survey is an expansion of the more in-depth telephone survey for which there currently is an overall satisfaction rate of 78.1 per cent.
The feedback is being gathered from the public in order to better understand the effectiveness of our response and how the force can improve the service provided.
People who have contacted Thames Valley Police, may be sent a text message to their mobile phone asking them to fill in a short text survey of just two questions.
We are aware that there are sensitivities around certain crimes and incidents for example in cases of domestic abuse. Due to these sensitivities texts will not be sent to victims involved in these cases.

On Monday, April 29^th, Year 4 boys from Papplewick  School, Ascot, signed up to the Roman Army and started their training at Fishbourne Palace, near Chichester in West Sussex.

The new recruits have two years of training ahead of them and are required to commit to the Army for 25 years. They will be paid one sestertius (an ancient silver Roman coin) per day, and they are only able to leave if they lose a limb.

The boys’ initial drill required them to march in formation and to charge. They tasted a typical Roman meal of bread, cheese, olives, pickled carrots and dried apple, and learned to write their names in Latin.

 Headmaster Tom Bunbury said: “The boys always enjoy this visit; it really brings Roman culture to life.”

 Fishbourne is the site of an excavated Roman Palace, with remains of incredible mosaic floors, ruins of the Palace's baths and beautiful gardens
