Theo's Burns Club Theo’s Burns Club provides social opportunities for children & families who've had a burn injury

Theo’s Burns Club provides opportunities for children who have been injured by a burn to attend social and therapeutic events to help them to come to terms with their painful injuries and treatment. They are offered these opportunities until they are 16 and move to the adult service. The Burns Unit at Sheffield Children’s Hospital treats over 450 new children a year and all of these children are offered access to Theo’s Burns Club. The care these children receive is complex and extremely painful and can involve repeated surgery over many years. Many of the children have to come to terms with intensive daily treatment, carried out by their families and also need to wear pressure garments to improve the appearance of their scars and attend hospital for treatment on a regular basis. The long term effects of a burn injury are not just physical, these children have to learn to come to terms with their scarring and the effect that has on their school life and friendships. The aim of Theo’s Burns Club is to enable these children to learn to deal with their scarring and treatment through attending specialised camps where they can meet other children with burn injuries and take part in exciting activities, with health professionals providing expert support. The club also provides regular social events for children and their families to discuss the impact of their injuries, such as bowling nights for teenagers or swimming sessions, Christmas parties and days out.

From patient to paediatric nurse 💛

When Sophie first came to our Burns Unit at 13, she built strong bonds with the team who cared for her.

She remembers being supported by “such a dedicated team of nurses, doctors, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists” who helped turn “a really difficult experience” into something “more positive and reassuring.”

One of the biggest moments in her recovery was attending a national burns camp arranged by the Burns Unit. Meeting other young people helped her feel understood and gave her the confidence she needed as she grew up.

She said: “The care I received at Sheffield Children’s left a truly lasting impression on me – it was filled with compassion, expertise, and encouragement that shaped not only my recovery but also who I am today.”

In fact, it made such a strong impression that Sophie is now a Paediatric Nurse, inspired by the same care that once helped her heal. At 26, she balances her career with playing netball, hiking, walking her dog, and being a mum to her daughter.

As we celebrate 150 years of Sheffield Children’s, Sophie’s story reminds us how care can transform lives – and inspire future clinicians.

“If I had to describe the care in a word, it would be ‘life‑changing’.”

Thank you to Sophie for sharing your wonderful story. You can read the full version on our website: www.sheffieldchildrens.nhs.uk/news/life-changing-care-led-sophie-on-the-path-to-being-a-nurse

A sparkler can reach temperatures 20 times the boiling point of water.

Would you hand something that hot to a child?

Sparklers are often seen as a fun part of family celebrations, but they can cause serious burns if they’re not handled safely.

If sparklers are being used:
🎆 Always supervise children closely
🧤 Wear gloves and hold sparklers at arm’s length
🚫 Never give a sparkler to a child under five
🪣 Have a bucket of cold water ready for used sparklers
🔥 Never pick up a sparkler once it has been dropped

Ahead of National Burn Awareness Day, share this Reel with other parents and carers and help raise awareness of the risks.
