Testimonials
Hear first hand from people who have benefitted from our support.
If you’ve been helped recently or if you or your family have been supported at any point in the last 140 years, we’d love to hear from you.
I contacted the BDA Benevolent Fund when I was in desperate need for help with my studies, and simply would not be attending university right now if it wasn’t for them. They were thoughtful and caring and most of all, unlike my university hardship fund, they processed my application so quickly when having to drop out of university was imminent. Thank you!
You were a great support to me and I would like to thank you for your help and professionalism throughout the whole affair. Having a kind, sympathetic and understanding ear made a big difference.
I would like to thank you for your help and support. You have helped to transform an existence into a life.
Please accept my heartfelt thanks for this emergency grant. I’m truly not sure how I would have managed otherwise.
To be perfectly honest before I met your general manager, I was seriously considering suicide. I have a very low opinion of the human race, but your response to me has made me reconsider that there are still some decent human beings after all.
Thank you so much again for all your assistance with my application and for keeping me informed throughout the process. I cannot thank you all enough for what you’ve done for me.
This is great news and I am truly humbled for the help provided by the BDA Benevolent Fund. Without the contributions, I would have not been able to get through my final year of studies. Thanking you and the team for all your help and support.
Thank you so much for your email. This is the most fantastic news and it’s going to be such a huge help to me and my ability to continue in my final year of studying. Once again I am so very grateful for the phenomenal generosity of the BDA Benevolent Trustees and I cannot express how thankful I am for this extremely kind donation.”
I am very pleased to say that the conditions on my GDC registration has been removed. I will like to use this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to you and the BDA Benevolent Fund for all the help and support given to me and my family through this difficult time. I really appreciate it.
