Children's Burns Club (CBC)
DREAM. BELIEVE. ACHIEVE.
The Children's Burns Club (CBC) offers support to young burn survivors and their families to help them come to terms with burn trauma and altered body image.
We organise fun activities including residential camps, days out, workshops, parties and encourage the benefits of peer support amongst members.
This support helps rebuild self-esteem, confidence and expectations after a burn injury and along the way lasting friendships are made by the children and their families whilst giving mutual support to one another.
Who we support
The club is open to any child or young person under the age of 18 years old that has a been treated by a burns consultant; any young person aged 18-24 is able to join the young adult CBC group.
We are a charity
The Children’s Burn Club is a registered charity under the umbrella of the Mid and South Essex NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust where the hospital funds all staffing costs.
This means any income raised or donated to the club goes directly to supporting the children, young people and families that need it to increase the support offered to them.
