On August 19th the Pain Free Dentistry Group held their first ever Charity Ball in aid of Kindness Homeless Street and Steps to Hope.

At the heart of Scotland, Kindness Homeless Street and Steps to Hope tirelessly devote themselves to aiding and uplifting the homeless. Our desire to contribute to their noble missions drove us to raise funds, paving the way for better lives on the streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh

PFD Group’s Collaborative Initiative For Holistic Dental Care And Community Transformation

PFD Group’s Collaborative Initiative For Holistic Dental Care And Community Transformation

The PFD Group have teamed up to help our local practice communities focussing on helping those who are homeless to get access to care where we can resolve their dental pain, get their oral health stable, support their long term general health and ultimately help with their self confidence. This helps those who are currently homeless to re-enter the workplace, help with addiction issue and remove the challenges they have in accessing dental care.

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 about it and we decided straight away that we wanted to offer some help.⁠

It is heartbreaking that so many people are going without essential health care, and oral hygiene is such an important part of our overall well-being.⁠

We really want to be respectful of everyone involved in this collaboration, and Laura is taking 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 self confidence and esteem. We sincerely hope that by stepping in and providing dental services for the Kindness Homeless Street Team we can really make a difference.

Our team are not only able to support homelessness charities through providing care but also through collection of donations and volunteering to support the teams who give out food, clothing and self care products top those in need.

Below are a few images from some of the fundraising and volunteering that we have been involved in.
