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.
