National Burns Awareness Day Oct 2022
This year during the NBAD, the Children’s Burns Trust has launched STOPTEABER – a new, nationwide fundraising campaign to help to reduce the number of children who experience burns and scalds from hot drinks. 30 children go to hospital every day with a hot drink burn, this campaign will support Children’s Burns Trust in raising awareness and reducing this number
A burn injury is for life, the scars are physical as well as psychological, and can present life-long challenges for the burn survivor and their families.
Marina Lobanov Rostovsky, Chairman of Trustees of the Children’s Burns Trust
“We have long wanted to combine the incredible work that takes place each October around National Burn Awareness Day with a simple, but fun, way that people can help support our work through fundraising. STOPTEABER is an easy way for individuals, parents, organisations and our colleagues across the NHS and burn community to come together to give up tea and coffee for the month in order to raise awareness and support the work of Children’s Burns Trust’.“
