Katie Piper launches new foundation to support burns survivors

In March 2008, Katie Piper was severely burned in an acid attack. In October 2009, she featured in a documentary called Katie: My Beautiful Face. The programme followed Katie as she went through treatment and started to rebuild her life.

James Partridge, CEO of Changing Faces, said:

“Changing Faces welcomes the setting up of the Katie Piper Foundation which is focusing on helping people to live with burn scarring and on raising awareness of public attitudes to people who have burns. We look forward to working with the Foundation, particularly in relation to addressing issues around the psycho-social rehabilitation of people with burns and in promoting more informed and positive attitudes towards people who have disfigurements generally.”
