While winter months prove to be difficult at times for those of us lucky enough to be able to access health services, it has been a particularly challenging time for the homeless community.⁠ This is why our Managing Partner, Mark Skimming, decided to step in and help out.

After reading about the outstanding work of Laura McSorley, who started the Glasgow-based Kindness Homeless Street Team in 2019, Mark spoke to our team members and we decided straight away that we wanted to offer some help. It is heart-breaking that so many people are going without essential health care. Oral hygiene is such an important part of our overall well-being.

We really want to be respectful to everyone involved in this collaboration and Laura has taken the lead in terms of giving us⁠ background information and explaining how best we can use our own skills and resources.⁠ Above oral and dental care, of course, we know that how our smiles appear is also a huge part of our confidence and self-esteem. We sincerely hope that by stepping in and providing dental services for the Kindness Homeless Street Team we can really make a difference.
