The charity, inspired by Hussain Ibn Ali's legacy, identified a need in London for improved oral health and handed out kits to guests in Charing Cross on February 8 and Acton on February 9, 2025.
The team gave out the kits on the weekend of International Dentist Day, which celebrates the oral health profession.
The kits contained toothbrushes, toothpaste and dental floss provided by Colgate, Oral-B and Henry Schein.
The oral health kits were given out at the charity’s ‘Food Drives’ alongside a hot meal, a hot drink and fruit.
