Committed to helping dentists in need and their families, the BDA Benevolent Fund provides vital one-off and regular loans to those in severe financial difficulty.

Regardless of age, background or beliefs, the Fund cares for all people, as long as they are, or have been, on the UK dental register.

Accidents, long-term illness and serious stress can have devastating economic consequences for anyone. The Fund supports dentists and their dependents to help them get back on track, helping to buy food and clothes, pay outstanding bills, household expenses, replace household items or go towards nursing home fees and respite care.

The Benevolent Fund relies entirely on voluntary donations to fund its vital work. Joining in with one of the charity's events, or setting up your own fundraiser can provide much needed support to dentists in need.
