The Scottish Burned Children's Club provides support to burn survivor children, age 8-18 years, and their families dealing with lifelong scars of burn and scald injuries. Unlike any other injury, burns and scalds leave a life long scar, which no matter how small or big act as a reminder to the family as well as the child of the trauma they have been through. The child must also grow up knowing their body image is different, knocking their confidence at a time when normal processes of growing up are stressful enough. When a child is injured the whole family can be affected by: - Physical and psychological trauma - A different body image - A Lack of confidence. With continued support, positive encouragement and the courage and determination that has helped them so far we hope to see each child realise their dreams and goals. As well as providing positive support for families of burned children. The Scottish Burned Children’s Club is solely funded by fund raising events, sponsorship and donations and is run and organised by volunteers. The SBCC strives to help each child realise their goals and dreams. We are also dedicated to reducing the number of burn and scald injuries by raising awareness of the problems and promoting safe practice. It is important for burns survivors to feel that they are not alone in facing day-to-day difficulties. We organise Day trips & special events. The highlight is an annual week long summer rehabilitation camp for the children aged 8-18 years old. The camp enables the children to share experiences, make new friends and build their self confidence and self esteem, but above all have fun. All of this takes commitment and money in order for the work of the charity to continue.
Sophia Forum is a network of women and organisations around the UK, part of the UNAIDS-coordinated Global Coalition on Women and AIDS. At present we are particularly focusing on the gender-based violence experienced by women living with HIV in the UK. In February 2013 we launched a report about the linkages between Gender-Based Violence and HIV for women in the UK. You can read more about the launch and related articles here. On 8 March 2014 - International Women's Day - we launched our new "WISE-UP+" training programme for young and/or newly diagnosed women living with HIV who would like to learn about advocacy work. This work is kindly sponsored by the Big Lottery Awards 4 All. Our mailing list for our newsletters and other updates is free and open to all.
