the burned children's club gives support to young burn survivors and their families. We promote self esteem and help children come to terms with their altered body image. Support is also essential to parents and sibblings, as they too need help, to adjust and come to terms with the trauma. All this is done through fun, recreation and mutual support.
If your child, or you know of a child that would benefit from what our group has to offer, then contact us for more information. Our membership is open to those under the age of eighteen.
We are a registered charity (Registration No. 1062024) and our website will give you an understanding in what we are trying to achieve and how we accomplish this, with the kind support from all our sponsors and through fund raising.
If you have any questions or would like to help us in any way then please contact us, as we would love to hear from you.
How the Club Started
A toddler and her slightly older brother were admitted to the St.Andrews Centre for Plastic Surgery and Burns with horrendous injuries following a fire in their East London tower block home.
The consultant burns surgeon on call that night in November 1994 saved their young lives, but questioned how they would cope mentally and physically with the years of plastic surgery required to rebuild their damaged bodies.
His conversation with a colleague in the unit turned to the work being carried out in America with burns victims and the pair decided to find out more about what could be done for their young patients......and the burned children's club was formed.
