Dental charity extends outreach to Cornwall

The charity is working in partnership with Harbour Housing and Bodmin Way which provide services for vulnerable people across the south west.

Volunteer dentists and dental nurses have provided three days of mobile dental care at Harbour Housing’s headquarters in St Austell and St Petroc’s Parish Centre in Bodmin.

Jill Harding, head of fundraising and communications for Dentaid, said, “We’ve had a long-held ambition for us to bring our outreach services to Cornwall after hearing that people experiencing homelessness and health inequalities are having real difficulty in accessing the dental care they need.

“It’s a pleasure to work alongside Harbour Housing and Bodmin Way, providing treatment that can have a real positive impact on the lives of vulnerable people and we’re very grateful to the Duchy Health Charity for funding this project.”
