Research Buddy Program
Our Burn Family community is at the heart of what we do. This page is a place to stay connected with the Fiona Wood Foundation, with news, events and opportunities to get involved across our work.
There are different ways to be involved. Some opportunities focus on engagement, such as sharing information, attending events or providing perspectives and feedback. Others involve a more active role, including contributing lived experience to research, education and Foundation activities, or working alongside researchers as a consumer research partner.
Explore current opportunities and upcoming events below.

The opportunities shared here are ways to connect with and contribute to the work of the Fiona Wood Foundation.
