“It is a great honour to become a patron of My Family Burns Club. As a Firefighter for over 30 years I have witnessed the terrible impact that burns can have on children, young adults and their families and so I am very aware of the complex needs of all the people affected. 

The volunteers at the charity do incredible work to help those people and I know from experience are absolutely selfless in their commitment to help support those needs, be they physical or psychological.

I would encourage anyone to find out more about the charity and consider supporting their amazing work, either financially or as a volunteer. I can’t imagine anything more rewarding than knowing you have helped some of the children and young adults, who have been affected by terrible burns, and their families to rebuild their confidence and self-esteem.”
