MANCHESTER, UK: At the start of its annual congress in Manchester, the British Dental Association (BDA) has pledged to donate £5,000 to the victims of the bombing at a concert on Monday. With this step, the professional body joins other initiatives that are aimed at supporting the families affected by the horrific attack.
Chair of the BDA Principal Executive Committee Mick Armstrong said: “We’ve been so proud to make Manchester home to our national conference, and we just want to do our bit to help our hosts and friends in the aftermath of this horrific attack.”
“Quite rightly Manchester has resolved to carry on. Our thoughts are with all the families touched by this atrocity,” he added.
According to the Greater Manchester Police, Monday’s attack during a concert by American singer Ariana Grande at the Manchester Arena left 22 people dead and more than 50 injured. The suicide bombing, believed to have been executed by a 23-year-old man from the south of the city, is one of the most fatal terror-related incidents in Great Britain in recent years. In response, the UK government has changed the terror threat level from severe to critical and deployed armed forces nationwide to protect vulnerable sites.
Participants of this year’s BDA conference have also had to submit to extra security measures that have been put in place for the entire event.
Earlier on Thursday, they joined in on a minute of silence across the UK to honour the victims.
The BDA has been continuously holding its national conference at the Manchester Central Convention Complex since 2012. Over 4,000 dental professionals are expected to attend this year’s three-day event, which also features an extensive industry exhibition.
