People: Improving people’s mental wellbeing
We aim to help disadvantaged families and individuals to facilitate and promote good oral health through giving regular access to appropriate dental supplies.
About this cause
We're a group who works to relieve poverty, in particular hygiene poverty, because no-one should have to choose between eating and keeping clean.
How this cause brings people in the community together
In making sure no-one is denied the dental products they need for good oral health, embarrassment and social isolation experienced by people living with hygiene poverty will be alleviated. People with poor oral health feel judged and excluded, their confidence and wellbeing are adversely affected. Simple products given in suitable quantities relieve stress and make life easier.
