KPF Weekend Event 2017

We held our 2017 Weekend Event at the end of September. We had 60 guests this year – all adults affected by burn injuries and their family/friends/partners. Activities included:

Cupcake decorating
A talk on confidence from Katie Piper
Mindful walks in nature
Personal training
Relaxing massage
Swimming
Camouflage and makeup consultations
Craft workshop
Vocational workshop

Our volunteers, burn survivors themselves, organised the weekend event and led the majority of the activities.

We had wonderful feedback from the event, including this testimonial:

I can’t thank the Foundation enough for our weekend event. I’ve been beaming since I got in the car to leave. My own mother said I’ve come back a different person and am glowing. I’ve learnt a lot about myself this weekend and it’s opened my eyes and corrected a lot of thoughts I had about myself. I’ve met some amazing people who I am happy to say have now become my new friends and peers and also support. I feel like you have given me a purpose as I’ve been able to share tips with people on certain little day to day things. Thank you so much for helping me find and be ME.
