BrushUpUK (UK, 1160118) Browse events

Our aim at BrushUpUK is to assemble a group of dental professionals that believe and share our goals that everyone should have the knowledge and skills to access and maintain a good standard of oral health. The December 2015 NICE guidelines on oral health promotion highlight the need to develop a more preventative approach to dental care. To develop our key performance indicators we link our presentations and evaluations to ‘delivering better oral health’ and the NICE guidelines. BrushUpUK’s administration checks all volunteers for DBS, CPD and qualifications. We then provide tailored presentations for the preferred audience chosen by the volunteer. This gives the opportunity of an inexperienced volunteer to grow in confidence by starting with a simple group e.g. a local school, and then progressing up to educating healthcare professionals such as oncology care teams. Our dream of educating all types of carers has already taken us into 15 branches of vulnerable ‘at risk’ groups which are now being educated in preventive oral health. We are currently running a preventative project to help clients understand the dental consequences of alcohol and substance abuse. Utilising these forward-thinking, motivated dental care professionals to their full potential will benefit their local dental practice by increasing their enthusiasm within the workplace. BrushUpUK was created by a dental care professional and the current management team has a combined dental experience of almost 90 years, spanning across many different sectors within dentistry. Together, WE can make a difference and WE can generate our own movement in preventative Dentistry, by helping and supporting our Health Service and giving back to our local community.

Alchemy Charitable Trust (UK, 1145254) Browse events

 Alchemy Charitable Trust: Alchemy Charitable Trust (ACT) has been established to provide support and assistance to families and individuals living in East Sussex who face exceptional need. Our approach is discreet, positive, and practical. We hope that ACT can make a difference to the lives of the families and individuals who receive our help. We have all encountered times in our lives when we have faced unexpected financial demands, pressure or hardship when, no matter how hard we have tried, worked or saved, we simply cannot find the funds or help needed to resolve the problem. For some, family or friends, the State or other charities are able to provide the necessary support but for others their needs fall outside the usual parameters for State or charitable assistance and there appears to be nowhere else to turn. We hope that ACT can make a difference to the lives of the families and individuals who receive our help, by enabling them to overcome their short-term needs. We trust that providing that little extra support we can enable people to face the future again with renewed optimism. Support is through gifts in kind i.e. a donation of the actual goods or service required or in certain circumstances a grant of financial assistance. Very often these grants can help to prevent an immediate crisis from spiralling and threatening the stability of families and individuals. Even where these families and individuals are tackling complex and difficult issues, a small grant or practical gift can make a big difference.
