Would you be interested in becoming a volunteer for B.U.G.S. and joining a very special group of people?

Can you imagine, or perhaps you know what it is like to have a burn or scald accident.  It is a sudden and traumatic event which occurs in a moment and can change life for ever.  It may mean a long stay in hospital some distance from the family and then a very long period of recovery during which great adjustment may have to be made. 

 During all this time a friendly and sympathetic person who is willing to spend time to keep one company; listen, do the odd simple errand or even help with feeding is invaluable.  B.U.G.S. Volunteers fill this role and do much else to ease the lot of the burned adult or child, and even family members.

Could you become a volunteer? Do you feel you would be able to empathize and support?  If you would like more information about becoming a B.U.G.S. volunteer and joining the B.U.G.S. team, who would welcome your help, then get in touch with:
