Ok here's the lim to my JustGiving page: the mission is to grow this mop of hair til Christmas Eve 2020, when the plan is that the staff at The Barber, Lower English St Armagh will gang up and remove it.

The cause:
To raise £1500.00 for the Southern Area Hospice in Newry, where my dad was looked after superbly in his final illness in 2014.

May he rest in peace and may we do all we can to keep this excellent facility up and running.

Their work is priceless and the staff are wonderful.

Help Iain Campbell raise money to support Southern Area Hospice Services

First language community project involves engaging communities through their first language as a means to prevent Language being a barrier to healthcare equality. Our dental students with different language backgrounds are able to connect with these various communities. They can also act as role model and mentor the younger generations of these communities.

An update of the recent DentMan projects that we have undertaken in the past year. We have had a focus on making dentistry more than just a technical field but to remember the Human side of dentistry. Manchester as an institution that continues to be good at research and teaching.

The question is what we are good for? To answer this question we have adopted these projects to engage with the local community under the idea of 'humanising dentistry'. Humainising Dentistry encompasses service learning in the local and the global community. This is the principile that underpins all DentMan activity.

Recent projects we have done include: locally, we have a first language project, homeless oral healthcare, oral healthcare for refugees. Whilst still encouraging students to emabrk on global volunteering opportunities. These projects can be showcased at our annual, student led, DentMan oral health conference, that gives a plaform to share these pursuits.

We have recently registered DentMan as a students society with the Manchester Student's Union, this is helping our students to stellify and become global citizens.

We have been given a social responsibility grant by the faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health at the University of Manchester to expand and fulfill community involvement. This is fulfilling one of the University's core values of 'Social Responsibilty' producing Socially responsible graduates.
