Pain Free Foundation

Pain Free Foundation

Giving back and supporting local and International communities 

Several years ago we started what is now known as the “Pain Free Foundation” to focus on charities both local and abroad.

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

As you know, we have several published books available for purchase via Amazon. We are delighted to announce that we have agreed to donate all the proceeds to Dental Mavericks.

Dental Mavericks (DM) is a charitable dental relief organisation registered in the United Kingdom with ongoing operations in Morocco and Lebanon, supporting vulnerable communities. The central mandate of Dental Mavericks focuses on promoting oral hygiene education and practice, and more broadly, making dental care accessible to vulnerable populations.

In addition we have been long term supporters of B1G1. Every month, we support B1G1’s mission to create a world full of giving. Making a difference, every second, every day and in every way! We can pick projects we would like to support each month. Recently we helped to:

  • Give 1,502 days of access to life-saving clean water to people in Malawi
  • Give 150 bricks toward building homes for families in need in India.⁠

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.

Kindness Homeless Street Team

The first charity we became affiliated with is “Kindness Homeless Street Team

As seen in the Daily Record

Kindness provide hot food, clothes, toiletries and housing support daily in George Square.

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.

PFDG giving back

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.

We are delighted to be able to help Steps to Hope. It is a non-profit charity dedicated to caring for the homeless and those suffering with addiction:

 

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.
