Men's Day Out - 26 September 2020

26 September saw 13 men attend the Men's Day Out.

With the perfect day to set off on the water, the guys with ample supply of food, liquid and bait, headed off to catch fish.

Unfortunately, the only feedback to come back not so positive was, 'the big fish weren't biting!'

This is the second Men's Day Out to be held and the Charity is very happy to see the number of attending has increased.

This fun day out on the harbour fishing charter provides an informal opportunity for burn survivors to enjoy the company of others similarly affected.

A warm welcome to those partaking for the first time, we look forward to growing connections..

Again 'Seasprite Charters' skipper, Alan, offered his services to support and assist with this growing event...  Many thanks to Alan for his continued support.

Men's Day Out is available for burn survivors, father's of burn survivors and peer support males.

Testimonial from Bruce Holland - first time attendee of Men's Day out

"What a great event!  Simple but effective. Wonderful atmosphere. Relaxed and yet engaging.

It was really good to listen to what others had to say about their experience, how their burns had / were affecting their lives, and in some cases, the challenges they faced / were facing daily.  It certainly opened up my eyes to a lot more to things around burn treatment and rehabilitation.

And then there was the emotional aspect of it all. I didn't realise I took so much for granted. Being able to share something that I had learned with someone who was struggling with an issue, and seeing the benefit in that....
 
Thank you so much for such a great experience. The opportunity was really appreciated."
