Our Story

Building A Better Future Through Compassion

Why Your Support Matters

The Burn Fund relies heavily on the generosity of our community — particularly the people of Greater Victoria — to sustain our mission. Through the compassion of private donors, fundraising partnerships, and contributions from charitable organizations, we’re able to provide vital support to burn survivors and their families.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward our programs and services. This includes the ongoing operation and upkeep of the Burn House, a safe, welcoming space where survivors and their families can stay during treatment and recovery. It also supports initiatives like our Peer Support Group, survivor resources, and public education programs aimed at prevention and safety.

Every gift you give helps us provide essential support throughout a survivor’s healing journey — from the moment of injury to long-term recovery. Thanks to your generosity, we’re able to offer critical tools, resources, and care that make life after a burn injury more manageable, comfortable, and hopeful.

Here are just a few of the ways your donations make an impact:

Purchase of Equipment for Burn Patient Care

When the Patient Care Centre at the Royal Jubilee Hospital opened in 2011, the Burn Fund covered the cost to set up 4 patient rooms and the treatment room with mister on 7 South dedicated to the care of burn patients. The Burn Fund also purchased the equipment needed for the set up of the Occupational Therapy room which is used for the care of burn patients in the hospital and after discharge.

We also continue to purchase equipment needed for the care of the Burn Patients in the Intensive Care Unit, the Operating Room, and the Outpatient Burn Clinic as requested.

Provide Pressure Garments to Burn Patients

Recovery from burn injuries is frequently a long term process. Beyond the hospital, patients may require sets of pressure garments for scar management. These items can be very costly as are other devices such as prosthetic’s, special braces, or shoes. A Fund at the Royal Jubilee Hospital is maintained for the use of the Occupational Therapist to purchase pressure garments or other items as needed for burn patients who do not have the funds available.

Provide Educational Materials

The Burn Fund sets up an educational display at the Royal Jubilee Hospital each year for Burn Awareness Week. Burn Awareness Week is a coast-to-coast campaign in Canada and the United States dedicated to Providing the public with information and materials on a variety of subjects relating to burn injuries and their prevention.

Educational materials or set up of the prevention display can be provided as requested for community events.

Sponsorship for Educational Sessions

Funding attendance of medical conferences in Canada and the United States for Burn Nurses, Doctors, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists.
