Wishing our burn survivors and supporters a very happy new year!  Do you have any new year’s resolutions?   One of Polly’s (Dan’s Fund founder and CEO) is to look after her own burn scars and body more this year.  She has started a course of 6 LPG massage treatment sessions at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital every Wednesday throughout January & February 2024.  She hopes this massage treatment with the LPG machine will relax her tight bands of scarring and reduce pain.  It will also give her the opportunity to assess the machines and understand their worth, with a view to donating some to the major burn centres across the UK.   We’re hoping for great results and will update you in due course!

Dan’s Fund would like to join together with the rest of the world  in expressing our sorrow on hearing about the Queen’s passing yesterday.  It felt like she would live on forever but today we mourn the loss of the greatest of leaders, a truly astonishing monarch.  She lifted the spirits of the country and united us time and time again all through her relentless service to us all.   We have known no different and she will be sorely missed.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 21st April 1926-8th September 2022.

May she Rest in Peace.

Its been a busy few days and I always love it when we can make those bank payments!  This week, we’ve paid for 9 burn professionals to attend the BASC skin camouflage training course in May, funded the 3rd tranche of a tattoo to cover a young chaps burn scars, paid for some bespoke pressure garments for a young burn  and a new bed for another! In addition, we’ve agreed to donate an ipad and netflix subscription to another patient about to leave hospital shortly too.  Helping where we can to make burn survivors lives just a little bit better where we can.
