Our members have always received immense praise for their charitable efforts, by their friends, families, staff and the community. The charities we raise money for appreciate this wholeheartedly too.
At the start of each new academic year we carefully and mindfully select a new charity that we feel strongly towards and endeavour to raise money and awareness throughout the year. The Charity Rep this year is Shivani Dattani.
Our Charity for 2021/22 will be announced soon...
Each year, Leeds Dental School works hard to raise money for our new chosen charity. Fundraising events that involve everyone are carried out to raise as much money as possible, in the most enjoyable way.
Mouth Cancer Foundation
The Mouth Cancer Foundation is a small charity which concentrates on supporting patients, carers and survivors through an online forum.
The most important part of fundraising for Oral Cancer Charities is to raise awareness.
Oral Cancer is the sixth most common Cancer, and most people are unaware of the causes or the signs and symptoms that could be detected early on. Early detection is key for survival.
Therefore, we have one common goal, which is to raise awareness of the risk factors of Oral Cancer. Leeds Dental School will be involved in Oral Cancer Awareness Month in November by holding a stall along with handing out leaflets and merchandise illustrating the signs and symptoms.
