The London Hospital Dental Club Benevolent Fund
The London Hospital Dental Club Benevolent Fund, now under the trusteeship of the BATLAA Trustees, has grown over many years to a position where it can offer assistance to current dental students.
Your annual donation to this fund will help the Dental Club to continue its support to students, enabling them to make the most of their time here and to obtain a qualification which they have worked so hard to achieve.
Every year a new student is selected to receive a London Hospital Dental Club bursary of £1,000 in each year of the first three years of their degree.
In addition, the Benevolent Fund supports some of the expenses incurred by Year 4 students when they undertake their electives. In 2009-10, 17 students received support. You can read about the elective awards in our publications: BLC, the LHDC Newsletter and our QM Alumni e-Newsletter.
The London Hospital Dental Club Benevolent Fund is a registered charity. You can find out more by visiting the Charity Commission's website at www.charity-commission.gov.uk [new window].
The London Hospital Dental Club Benevolent Fund is a Registered Charity No. 278138.
Malcolm Jenkins and John Richards Travelling Scholarship Fund
Alumni of The London Hospital Dental Club have, over several years, supported the aim of the Malcolm Jenkins and John Richards Travelling Scholarship. This small endowment fund is able to support one or two Year 4 students to undertake a project at a dental school overseas. Each recipient is invited to present their findings at the London Hospital Dental Club's Annual Clinical Meeting and a report on their visit is published in the LHDC Newsletter.
