Raising money for GOLD FOR KIDS

Many Dental professionals are unaware of the huge potential that the combined value of removed restorations represents. We believe patients, professionals and the public are united in the belief that this money is best used for the greater good - to help the many children’s charities across the country in their vital work. That’s why we make it possible for value driven dental practice to make a big difference - collecting and turning restorations and old donated jewellery, into cash - which becomes income for children’s charities. Why Gold For Kids? As dentists ourselves, we know that there is value in the restorations and precious metals we recover from patients. Traditionally, due to the relatively low value of a single restoration, that value was retained. But what if that value could be multiplied and used to benefit some of the most vulnerable children in the UK? This is why Gold For Kids was created. Where does the money go? Gold For Kids currently partners with Barnardos and NSPCC, with a view to expand our support to other childrens’ charities as our partnerships grow. Currently resourced entirely by volunteers, our registered charity status means that in the future, the costs of operating the charity will be covered by the gift aid recovered on donations, so the value of your donation is what is transferred to the charity. How can you help? By showing your support through a cash donation, old jewellery or discarded dental restorations.

Story

In 2027, I’m running a minimum of 10K in every officially recognised city in England to raise £15,000 for Gold for Kids.

That’s 55 cities, at least 550 kilometres and one full year of running.

Gold for Kids is a volunteer-led dental charity that turns unwanted dental scrap into funding for UK charities helping children and young people.

This team page brings everyone supporting the 55 Cities Challenge together under one shared £15,000 target.

You can join the team by creating your own fundraiser, taking on a challenge, organising something through your workplace or dental practice, or raising money alongside one of the city runs.

Every connected fundraising page contributes to our collective total.

I’m personally funding my race entries, travel and accommodation. Money raised through the challenge will go to Gold for Kids, less any fees charged by JustGiving.

Whether you raise £5.50, £55 or £500, it all helps us get closer to the target.
