The Burns Club is a club for young people who have had major burn injuries and needed treatment at the Burns Centre. It is to allow the young people to make new and meet old friends, have fun, share experiences, try new activities and adventures. The club is for young people between the ages of 3 and 18, and aims to provide activities to suit the various age groups.
The committee is made up of health professionals - nurses, occupational therapists, play specialists, plus others from outside the hospital who help with fund raising and organising activities.
The club organises one-day events such as fun days, picnics, trips and adventure activities. Many of these will include parents, family and friends so they can all meet, chat and do things together.
One of the main events is the annual Burn Camp. The camp is for children between the ages of 7-13, and is a very important part of the club programme. Evaluations of camps support the benefits to the children. The camp is the biggest expenditure for the club and much of the fundraising is aimed at supporting it.
The club also offers annual events for the under 7s and 13-18 year age group.
There are other camps organised in this country, in Europe and especially in North America. The club has close connections with other clubs in Manchester, Chelmsford, Bristol, Swansea and Edinburgh.
