Children’s Burns Trust
A community working to reduce burn injuries to children and young people and support burn survivors and their families
What we do
We are a national charity dedicated to providing rehabilitation support for burned and scald injured children and their families, as well as prevention and awareness campaigns for which there is little or no national funding. We receive no government funding and are only able to continue the work we do as a result of our own fundraising efforts.
Awareness Campaigns
We are involved in numerous online and in person prevention campaigns in conjunction with partner organisations throughout the year to reduce the number of children being burnt and scalded in the UK
Rehabilitation Support
A burn injury is for life. The scars are physical as well as psychological and can present life long challenges. It is our aim to make those challenges easier to bear and to help children and young people to grow up and lead as happy and healthy a life as possible
Direct Family & NHS Support
Often children with severe burns are admitted to specialist burns services in hospitals far from their home. Parents coping with the trauma of a seriously ill child and mounting travel expenses can find it challenging. Following referral from the relevant clinical burns specialists we help families throughout the UK to cope with these initial costs
