How can you get involved and fundraise for Children’s Burns Trust?
We receive no government funding and are only able to continue the work we do as a result of your fundraising efforts. In addition to the income we generate from our corporate supporters and the support of various specialist trusts, we couldn’t carry on without the fundraising efforts of our incredible community of individual fundraisers and the many and varied events they organise.
Could you organise a fundraiser for us? No amount is too small and you can be sure the money you raise will go directly to help where it is most needed.

Other Options
Set up your own event
We were also impressed by our ambassador Michelle Whalley's Burpee challenge during National Burn Awareness Day 2023 which saw her complete 110 burpees every day during October to mark the 110 children who are treated each day in specialist burns centres. A massive effort and a hugely creative way to raise much needed funds for us.
You can also raise money through your company or a network you are part of. Contact us to talk about your ideas.
Do an Ultra Challenge
There is an Ultra Challenge for everyone from short walks to mind-boggling running events.
Our incredible fundraiser Nicole Lee has taken part in The Peak District Ultra as well as the Isle of Wight Ultra.
Take a look at all the events Ultra Challenge run across the country.
