Join Our Burn Family

Be Part of Our Burn Family Community
At the Fiona Wood Foundation, we are driven by a simple goal: to improve outcomes and quality of life for people affected by burn injury. Our work is guided by The Foundation’s four strategic pillars—world-leading research, impactful education, advancing care, and long-term sustainability—each playing a vital role in shaping better recovery, deeper understanding, and stronger connections across the burns community.
Our Burn Family is a place to stay connected in a way that feels right for you. Whether you’re a patient, family member, or caregiver, you can choose how you engage—through updates, resources, research opportunities, or simply by staying in touch with the work we do.
Your preferences, your privacy, and your choices are always respected.
People are at the heart of everything. Everything we do is grounded in partnership. We bring together burn survivors, families, researchers, and clinical teams to ensure that recovery goes beyond survival—supporting people to heal, rebuild, and thrive.
Research is shaped by lived experience. Through our Research Buddy Program, burn survivors and families work alongside our research team, helping to shape projects from the inside out. Their lived experience ensures we ask the right questions, focus on what matters most, and deliver innovations that make a real difference.
