Volunteer your Time

You can volunteer your time to help Teeth Relief directly or to help other organisations.

There are two main areas in which you can volunteer your time
for Teeth Relief:

  • Producing, Collecting and Signposting Teaching Material
  • Delivering Training at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM)

Producing, Collecting and Signposting Teaching Material

If you have an idea about a document that could be created that might be useful then please let us know. Offers of help to produce educational resources are welcome. Should you have come across teaching materials that we might be able to get permission to put on our website then that would be helpful too. The location of teaching resources on the internet that we can signpost would also be useful.
