Benevolent efforts in Northern Ireland
by Guy Hiscott
BDA Northern Ireland raised a grand total of £4,300 last year for the Benevolent Fund through various charitable endeavours.
The highlight of the year was the auction of artefacts specially created by talented BDA members and their colleagues, which alone raised over £2,000.
Other BDA events contributed to the appeal, and Richard Graham, the BDA Northern Ireland Branch president, generously donated £1 for every member who signed up to receive his online blog via the BDA online community pages.
Richard’s inspirational commitment has also helped to raise awareness of the Fund within the NI dental community.
The BDA Benevolent Fund has supported many dental practitioners and their families through challenging times, but in turn the Fund itself relies on the generosity of the dental profession to enable it to continue its work.
For more information call Sally Atkinson on 020 7486 4994, or email dentistshelp@btconnect.com. All applications to the Fund are treated in strict confidence.
The BDA Benevolent Fund is a registered charity no 208146.
