Social enterprise recognised for its positive impact on communities

Smile Together is an employee-owned dental social enterprise in business to deliver exceptional patient care whilst tackling oral health inequality for healthier, happier communities across the South West.

Jonathan Bouwer-Davies, managing director for Smile Together, said, “Being shortlisted in Team of the Year is a testament to the extraordinary contribution of our colleagues who resolutely deliver the highest levels of patient care alongside outstanding initiatives aimed at tackling oral health inequality across local communities. This year, we have invested almost £1m into patient facilities, delivered care to almost 18,000 patients in over 30,000 appointments, improved the oral health of around 6,500 children, opened a new practice and enhanced our service offering right across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. It is great to have the team’s work recognised this way, and the shortlisting also encourages us to push the boundaries in making a positive impact to our community.”
