Charities we support

We are proud to support the following charities.

Lennox Children’s Cancer

Whickham Dental Practice has sponsored the Lennox Children’s Cancer charity for the last 20 years with donations totalling over £3000. Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund is a national registered charity (no. 1011325) based in Romford, Essex. The Lennox aims to make a positive difference to the lives of children suffering from cancer and leukaemia throughout the UK by offering practical, financial and emotional support to the whole family. They pride themselves on the assistance they are able to offer to families when they need it most! This crucial support is provided through a range of projects including Care Grantsand Respite Breaks

Help for Heroes

Last Christmas we decided as a practice to forgo giving each other Christmas presents and Christmas cards and give the money to charity instead. It was unanimously agreed to donate the £253 raised to Help for Heroes. Our practice is close to Whickham’s War Memorial so it is a constant reminder of our brave soldiers serving in Afghanistan and around the world.

Children’s Heart Foundation at the Freeman Hospital (CHUF)

From Kind Hearts Grow Healthy Hearts For Valentine’s Day we raised £50 by asking our patients to guess the number of hearts in a jar. The lucky winner was CharlotteWarris who’s guess at 333 was the closest to 342. Charlotte won the jar and it’s contents and a dental “goody bag” to clean her teeth with after consuming the contents of the jar! Thank you to everyone who took part. At Whickham Dental we are proud supporters of the British Heart Foundation.
