We also had a visit from the animal park nearby where children were able to interact with meerkats and snakes. The weekend involved therapeutic sessions for the parents, activities for the children such as archery, climbing, bike riding and swimming. This replaced the annual jamboree that unfortunately could not take place last year. Two families attended a family weekend in October at Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire. Several families from our group and from other burns units in the south east of England attended a weekend of therapeutic workshops, activities for the children, support from professionals and shared experiences from parent to parents. This took place in September 2021 at Littlehampton's Fire Service Rehabilitation Centre and was funded by the Children's Burns Trust. Over the past two years it has been a challenging time through the COVID-19 pandemic to run the Family Group at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital-however, in 2021 we are pleased to say we did organise for families to attend trips and provided support for them. We provide an environment where families with similar experiences can meet and support each other to help promote positive thinking.
The Burns Family Group offers support and information for families with a child who has experienced a burn or scald injury.
