Portman Dental Care stand with Ukraine

With the current situation in Ukraine, we all at Portman would like to show our support for the families and loved ones of those affected.
We are committing to match all donations from Portman colleagues and patients, up to £50,000 and would like to extend
our Just Giving page for donations; these funds will be going to Disaster Emergency Committee
who help provide food, water, shelter and medical assistance.

This is the first step in doing what we plan for the people of Ukraine, with more activity to come.
