Dentaid The Dental Charity provides dental care and oral health advice for people from under-served communities across the UK. In the financial year April 2024 - March 2025, our work took us from Derry in Northern Ireland to Dunbar.

This year Dentaid The Dental Charity provided care for a growing number of people who are recovering from harm caused by addiction and substance misuse, families experiencing poverty, vulnerable women and survivors of abuse and domestic violence. This is in addition to our projects for rough sleepers and people experiencing homelessness, cancer patients, people seeking asylum and fishing communities.

Our fleet of 11 mobile dental units visit familiar and trusted spaces such as community hubs, drop-in centres, hostels, foodbanks and services where vulnerable people already go for help and support.

The aim of our work is to remove the emotional, practical and financial barriers that prevent people from accessing dental care, allowing them to live lives free of toothache and the stress caused by lack of access to care.

By taking our services to settings that are familiar to patients and where they feel comfortable, safe and supported, we can help them to feel more open to talking about their dental problems.

Many of those who visit our mobile dental clinics may have gone years or even more than a decade without seeing a dentist. Our trauma-informed care and patient-led approach has been developed and refined since we started working in the UK in 2015 and is something that everybody connected to Dentaid is truly proud of.

For many we treat, the condition of their teeth is a constant reminder of harm they have experienced. We often see patients who have given up on their dental health, who refuse to smile or hide their mouth behind their hand when they speak. Our teams gently help to re-engage patients with dentistry and, with time, we can help to alleviate pain while restoring someone’s smile and their self-esteem.

We know that oral healthcare can help our patients move on to a new chapter in their lives. Our proudest moments come when someone tells us how much of a difference Dentaid’s work has made to their living situation. We often hear that our patients have been able to seek further support, access housing, find employment or reengage with family and that improved oral health has helped them along the way.

Our impact 3

2025 is a year that everyone involved with Dentaid The Dental Charity should be immensely proud of. Significant growth continued, with revenue up 87% to £3m, and we continue to professionalise our delivery and service models at pace. It is exciting to see how growth brings new opportunities and enables us to strengthen foundations for the future of Dentaid The Dental Charity – we look forward to 2026 and beyond!

The charity is extending its reach within disadvantaged communities, as seen from our impact report. We have seen increased demand for UK clinics, visiting 44 new venues across the country and holding 1,113 clinics, including a first full year of clinics with Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB.

We have driven the expansion of our BrightBites education programme with more dedicated staff and partnered with a number of new charities to broaden our reach.

Whilst the UK work grew and now dominates the charity’s work, our overseas activities maintained their output with volunteer trips and equipment sent to our overseas partners.

The year’s fantastic work is underpinned by a dedicated, expanding staff team led by Andy’s experienced management team and supported by a wonderful group of volunteers the length and breadth of the UK who give their time and fundraise for the charity. The growth in employed members of staff from 26 to 42 aligns to growth in revenue and is necessary to deliver our charitable activities.

At the same time volunteers continue to underpin delivery with 10,586 hours of volunteer time in support of the charity. We remain centred in the heart of the UK dental industry, appreciating substantial corporate support and providing many opportunities for dental professionals to give back in the UK and overseas.

The charity’s foundations improved through 2025 as we took on new premises in Totton for our growing team, added new charity dental units to our UK fleet, created a new northern hub as a base to expand our reach into local communities, strengthened our reserves for future investment and put the appropriate governance in place to support staff and management for Dentaid as a larger charity.

Through all of this, the charity’s profile continues to grow and extend beyond our traditional dental industry support. We are hugely grateful to our long-standing and new supporters alike and expect this public profile to continue to develop as we build on our expertise, being seen as thoughtleaders in serving the most disadvantaged communities with outreach dental care.

Looking forward, we continue to evaluate the charity’s opportunities and risks as we chart a continued path of success for this exciting charity. It is a journey that we are excited to be on and for all of our supporters to join us and contribute in many ways.

Thank you to all involved with Dentaid The Dental Charity and for your ongoing support.

Our impact 5

Dentaid The Dental Charity is a charity that gets things done. Every day our teams are out on the road helping those who suffer from homelessness, harm, poverty and abuse to access safe, sustainable dentistry. My ambition is to ensure that anyone facing the effects of deprivation and social exclusion has access to our service – no matter where they live in the UK.

As CEO, attending our projects and seeing our work in action is something I hold dear. I had the privilege to attend our clinic at Bristol Drugs Project recently where I met dedicated support workers who offer practical help and emotional support for people overcoming addiction.

By taking a mobile dental service to them and offering regular care we are changing their understanding of dentistry. Our vehicle is a safe space where they can talk about their teeth and their ambitions for their oral health. We are part of their world, we do not judge, we care, and it’s making a huge difference.

Charities step in where there is a need for a specific solution. We don’t provide dental care for everyone, but for the most vulnerable and hard to reach people on our communities we’ll always offer a listening ear, practical advice and choices about their dental care.

The challenges are real. Dental care and vehicles – and all the regulatory controls and compliance that comes with them – are necessarily expensive. Some of our mobile units are aging and despite the fantastic work of our maintenance team, we need to go through a programme of replacing those coming towards the end of their lives.

There is so much need that requires the support of a charity. I wish that I could stumble on an endless pot of money to allow us to do more, but that doesn’t exist. To find an extra £10,000 for more clinics or £200,000 for a new vehicle requires tenacity, skill, relationships and constantly proving the life changing benefits of our work.

Dentistry is often a forgotten piece in the puzzle in helping someone rebuild their lives. Our work is very tangible and we give dental professionals and the wider industry daily opportunities to really make a difference. I’m hugely grateful to everyone who generously donates time and money to support us.

Next year is Dentaid’s 30th birthday and I am looking forward to celebrating the amazing things this charity has achieved while looking ahead to even more wonderful things to come.

6 Our impact

Like all charities we are acutely aware of the need to reduce our carbon footprint and take steps towards more sustainable and less environmentally damaging methods of delivery. For Dentaid there are particular challenges in achieving this due to the vehicles and consumables required to provide outreach dental services. In 2024 and 2025 we’ve been able to utilise new opportunities and technologies to help us move in the right direction.

Our solar powered charity dental unit

The fuel consumption of our new charity dental unit is less than half of our other vehicles. Furthermore, the dental surgery is powered by solar energy stored in batteries, which means we don’t need a generator to run it.

Bamboo toothbrushes

Thanks to a generous donation, the majority of the toothbrushes used for our BrightBites oral health programme are bamboo, which means they can be recycled in a garden waste bin or used for compost.

Our regional Kent hub

By delivering our south-eastern clinics from our Kent hub, we have saved thousands of road miles and reduced emissions. Our locally-based team provide our charity dental service in their own community and in towns and cities nearby.

if 4 No more disposable instruments ‘

To minimise unnecessary waste, we have transitioned from single-use instruments to reusable alternatives. Thanks to the generosity of NSK, we have autoclaves which are used in the decontamination rooms onboard our charity dental units.

Our impact 11

Since it was founded in 1996, Dentaid has always been known as a volunteering charity and that remains true to this day. Whether it’s delivering care on our charity dental units, talking about teeth to children in a BrightBites presentation, refurbishing equipment in our workshop or joining an overseas team there are so many ways to get involved.

This year, our work was made possible thanks to the UK dentists and dental nurses who donated 2,722 hours of their time, 452 BrightBites volunteers, 72 clinicians who joined our overseas teams and a passionate group of engineers, electricians and technicians who helped to produce, maintain and restore equipment at our head office in Hampshire.

Here we’ve invited our volunteers to tell us what offering their time and skills to Dentaid means to them.

“I thought it would be good to give back to the community and help people in need. It has been amazing seeing patients before and after their treatment and the difference we can make. My expectations of volunteering with Dentaid have reached and surpassed all expectations, the team is great and the van is well equipped with everything you could reasonably need. This has been a great experience in helping and treating patients with complex treatment.”

Amber Mason, UK volunteer foundation dentist

“I decided to volunteer for Dentaid because I enjoy working with disadvantaged groups of people. I wanted to give something back to the community

I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone to grow my confidence. What I like about volunteering with Dentaid is going into new situations and meeting clinicians and patients I wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet day to day. I work in a fully private practice so getting to meet groups of patients who wouldn’t usually come to my surgery is a real positive. It has helped to build my skills and experience as a dental nurse. Laura Nicholls, UK volunteer dental nurse

“I don’t think there are any other charities quite like Dentaid which made it stand out to me. The patients you see on a Dentaid clinic are often in much more extreme cases than those you’d encounter in a normal practice. Often you are helping people experiencing homelessness or people living in poverty whose dental needs tend to be far more severe. And that’s where you really feel like you’re making a difference. Volunteering with Dentaid is so much more rewarding than just doing your usual job day in, day out.”

Pankaj Varma, UK volunteer dentist

12 Our impact

“The thing I enjoy the most about volunteering for Dentaid is the fact I can use my skills and qualifications to help those less * sae fortunate. Volunteering for Dentaid is an amazing way to see dentistry from a different perspective, especially if you’re used to working in a private practice and not having to “make do” with things to get people out of pain. The people who attend the mobile unit, wherever it’s placed, are obviously in need of urgent care and advice. Being able to help them brings such a positive feeling of community and giving.” Rebecca Smith, UK volunteer dental nurse * pit - | Peg “It’s incredibly rewarding to see children so interested when they discover something new - like how much sugar is hidden in their favourite snacks or how long two minutes of brushing really feels! Knowing that I’m helping to build positive habits me Oy Glee e Lu that could last a lifetime makes the experience truly a a 5 meaningful.

Volunteering with Dentaid’s BrightBites programme can make a real difference to the next generation, especially in areas of the UK where resources are limited.”

Jodie Lynch, BrightBites volunteer

We ‘hit the ground running’ as they say, as no sooner had we landed, we were sorting and repacking the equipment ready for our first clinic in the morning. In one location we visited in Uganda a 67-year-old gentleman rode six kilometres on a bicycle to reach our pop-up surgery for urgent treatment, and in another a 22-year-old lady walked for two hours in soaring heat to queue for an extraction, before setting back off to walk another two hours home again! This really does put things into perspective how lucky we are.” Jo Young, volunteer dentist, Uganda

“Everyone was extremely grateful, they were so easy to treat being so co-operative, always seemed so grateful to everyone involved. This is one thing that made the working experience so nice, feeling appreciated.

I know it sounds cliché but I loved everything about the trip from the start to the finish. I made such incredible friends, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone as I am quite a shy person and I feel like I have flourished, I’m pushing myself more and more since the trip.”

Gabrielle Jenks, Cambodia overseas volunteer

Dentaid's mobile dental units provide a vital service in bringing care to new communities and allowing more vulnerable people to access life-changing dental treatment. In the past year, we've been able to expand our fleet with three new vehicles thanks to the support of our corporate partners.

Lottie

Lottie, affectionately named to acknowledge the support of The Health Lottery, has had a busy start to her time with Dentaid since being used for her first charity dental clinic in Weston-super-Mare in July 2024.

She's been travelling the country since then, delivering clinics around the UK from the south coast to the Welsh valleys supporting people experiencing homelessness, harm and abuse and is fast becoming a firm favourite with Dentaid drivers and motorists alike!

Clover

Clover is our lean, green machine - the first of its kind at Dentaid. Funded by the Bupa Foundation, she has solar panels on the roof that charge lithium batteries which we use to power the suction, handpieces and lights. Clover is smaller, lighter and produces far fewer emissions than our other vehicles, meaning we can deliver dental care in central London, city centres and remote rural communities more easily.

Nestor

As she is ULEZ compliant, Clover enabled our return to central London in 2025. Our first stop was with Single Homeless Project, visiting hostels for people experiencing homelessness in the capital.

Dentaid The Dental Charity now has two charity dental units supported by Septodont. The second and latest addition to our fleet is named in memory of the company's French founder Nestor Schiller and has been refurbished, restored and equipped thanks to Septodont's support.

The first vehicle, which we started using for charity dental clinics in 2023, has been renamed Annie in honour of Nestor's wife who co-founded the company with her husband in 1932. Septodont remains a family-owned business today and we are always pleased to update their grandson Olivier on everything we achieve thanks to their support.

14 Our impact

Strategic report April 2024 to March 2025

Dentaid’s work to prevent society’s most vulnerable from experiencing the stress and misery of toothache continued to reach new groups in 2024 and 2025.

This last year saw a large increase in our services for vulnerable women dealing with the trauma of abuse, modern slavery and exploitation, including those forced into the sex trade. By working with specialist welfare charities and using all-female volunteer teams, we strive to ensure they can be seen in a setting in which they feel safe and supported.

The introduction of three new charity dental units gave us the opportunity to relaunch our central London clinics, as well as providing additional support for those experiencing homelessness and hardship in Northern Ireland and rural communities.

We provide care for

People experiencing homelessness Vulnerable women People in recovery

Survivors of abuse

Families living in poverty Refugees and asylum seekers

Cancer patients Fishing communities Traveller, Roma and Gypsy communities

Whatever circumstances our patients find themselves in, they oftern face the same barriers to accessing care – not having the stability to attend appointments at fixed times, challenges in accessing support, or simply not having the confidence to ask for help because of the state of their teeth.

By taking our charity dental service to venues where our patients access support on a regular basis, we can give them the best possible chance of seeing a dentist.

Martyn’s story

“I have a lot of pain across the upper right side of my mouth, the pain comes and goes when I’m eating and at night, but it is extremely annoying and causes a lot of agony. I have a lot of retained roots and that’s what is causing the pain.

I couldn’t tell you how long it has been since I saw the dentist, I know it’s been at least 10 years and even that was the emergency dentist at the hospital.

I wouldn’t have anywhere else to go if it wasn’t for this service.

I appreciate this as you always feel like a nuisance having to get help from charities but this didn’t feel like that at all.”

Ian’s story

“ After all the years of abuse, finally I just want my mouth to be in good health – to not have bad breath, to smile for once and not worry about the paranoia.

I can now feel confident when talking to people without

worrying about my teeth.

I would really recommend anyone to Dentaid who has had a similar experience to myself. They’ve given me a smile that will last even when the numbing goes down after today’s extractions.”

Afya’s story

“ My mouth hurts a lot, I get a lot of pain where the teeth have come out. Most of them I’ve pulled out myself because of the fear of the dentist. There are holes in my gums and it’s very painful.

I haven’t been to a dentist in years because I’m completely terrified of them. Being honest with you I haven’t tried to get a dentist, the fear and everything I’ve got juggling in my life, it’s something I’ve put on the back burner. I’m glad my keyworker gave me the push to be here today, this is a really big step for me.

I want to be able to eat food and not be self-conscious about

where I go.

I tend to cover up and I wear a mask most of the time because I’m really conscious of my mouth, I don’t want people to look at me.”

Strategic report 17

Forging strong relationships with support workers and our project partners is crucial to the success of our charity dental clinics. For highly vulnerable service users, support workers often become a trusted friend and a vital lifeline. By signposting their clients to our dental clinics, explaining the importance of dental care and even holding their hands in the chair, their compassion and patience becomes part of each clinic.

“Our patients find it difficult to go to a dentist because they feel embarrassed about their teeth. Coming to Dentaid they feel at ease. They wouldn’t otherwise have the confidence to go into a normal practice. Our clients are very vulnerable and they need help. It makes a massive difference because a lot of our clients have mental health problems or substance misuse problems or are just very depressed. They would often ring for an emergency dentist appointment but don’t have the transport to get to the appointments. Some of them don’t have the skills or confidence to make the appointment. They would feel uncomfortable by showing someone the state of their teeth and they don’t get this with Dentaid. I feel it’s broken down the barriers of dentistry and its opened up doors for them.” Support worker, St Clare’s Community Hub - Worthing

“Having the Dentaid bus has been really beneficial for ourselves and our clients. Currently, as most people are experiencing, it’s really difficult to get hold of a dentist. Not only that, our clients do distrust some healthcare services, so everyone has really enjoyed coming to Dentaid. Everyone who’s been so far has said they have been treated very nicely. We hope it continues.”

Support worker, Two Saints - Gosport

“A big problem for abuse survivors is that they haven’t had any access to dental care and it’s hard to get mainstream dentistry. Survivors have experienced trauma, which meant that brushing their teeth wasn’t a priority for them in the past. Often survivors would not have been able to access medical or dental care and in some cases, survivors have experienced damage to their teeth through physical violence. We are working with people who have not had freedom for a long time, so they have yet to be able to access dental appointments or have their teeth examined. Having Dentaid makes a huge difference. I’ve only heard positive feedback from our

service users. One story that stands

out is a woman who tried to visit the dentist but couldn't handle it because it brought back the trauma, which she found very distressing. Having Dentaid here, and their gentle approach, has really helped put her at ease.” Caseworker, Unseen - Bristol

Our BrightBites oral health education programme has grown from strength to strength in the past 12 months. Thanks to the support of Denplan, part of Simplyhealth, and hard work from teams of volunteers and oral health educators we were able to surpass our target. Together we taught over 95,000 children about teeth names and function, effective toothbrushing, healthy diets and the importance of regular dental care.

We take BrightBites sessions to schools, nurseries, after-school clubs and community groups across the UK, with a particular focus on areas where children are at risk of health inequalities or social exclusion.

Over the summer, BrightBites goes out on the road with volunteers delivering oral health education messages at summer camps, community events and healthcare services for families living in poverty.

Our UK charity clinics bring us into contact with hard-to-reach families including refugees and asylum seekers, families affected by domestic violence and abuse, children living in poverty and those eligible for free school meals.

By engaging parents and offering care alongside BrightBites, we can instil a knowledge of the importance of oral health from a young age.

“This session will definitely make children think more about their oral health habits, especially not having juice in their bottles. Several children tipped theirs out and refilled with water at the next break - which is a great result.”

Feedback from a school

“The best thing is being able to provide the right education to help children understand the importance of oral hygiene – and seeing their faces light up when they find out they’re all getting toothbrushes and toothpaste to take home.” Reaction from a BrightBites volunteer

“I explained to the children that they would all get a toothbrush and toothpaste to take home, and a little boy said his mother couldn't afford any more toothpaste just yet so they had been using mouthwash to brush their teeth. It broke my heart but also made me extremely proud that what I do had potentially helped a family.”

“The visuals and the games worked really well, the children really enjoyed that, especially the thumbs up and thumbs down game on the foods that were healthy or not healthy for our teeth. And I think that they really enjoyed having a practice brushing the teeth on the model. It’s so important that children take in what they’ve learned today. Lots of children brush their teeth regularly but there are some that don’t have that, so it’s really important that we can give them these messages.

We have children who regularly have issues with their teeth and have come into lessons complaining about toothache. Access to dental services can be challenging, so we’re looking forward to having you back again”.

When Dentaid The Dental Charity launched in 1996, its purpose was to support dental partners around the world and expand services into countries with little or no dental provision. Nowadays, Dentaid’s support takes many forms, from providing equipment for rural outreach projects to supporting the dentists of the future and continuing our popular volunteering programme.

Overseas clinics

It has been a successful year for our overseas volunteering teams who’ve gained invaluable experience working with our local partners in Malawi, Uganda and Cambodia. Six teams travelled to remote regions to run dental clinics in schools, orphanages, places of worship and communities with no other access to healthcare services.

Across all our trips, our teams saw 7,865 people and provided 11,336 treatments to those in need, ranging from young children to patients over 100 years. Many had travelled for miles by foot to be seen.

Outreach work

In Uganda we have a team of eight public health dental officers supported by our charity. The collaboration involves sharing skills and expertise, enabling outreach in communities with no access to dental care and working alongside our volunteering teams. Thanks to generous support, we have been able to supply two new portable dental chairs and four micromotors for our Ugandan dental partners in 2024/25.

a. . In the past year a new cohort of dental j professionals in Malawi have graduated after

"a p 5\e omit “ training with the help of equipment refurbished

: and supplied by Dentaid. This milestone was made possible thanks to the work of the Maldent Project. We have also provided refurbished equipment such as phantom head training units, a F compressors and dental surgery chairs to support the opening of a new dental school in Blantyre.

22 Strategic report

“The people we treated in Uganda were incredibly grateful. Their appreciation was heartfelt and sometimes emotional. In the prisons, we received an especially moving response—prisoners wrote letters, gave speeches and even performed dances to express their thanks. These moments were humbling and will stay with me forever.

This experience has completely shifted my perspective on both dentistry and volunteering. It’s shown me how life-changing dental care can be, restoring not just health, but confidence and dignity.“

Sophie Godson, volunteer dental nurse

“I had the best time on the trip to Cambodia and would recommend it to anyone no matter what your role is. We were working in quite a makeshift clinical setting. During the first week we were in a church hall that had been converted into a dental surgery. And for the second week we were literally using things like school desks to work on. Despite the unusual conditions I think it was one of the best things I’ve done in my career so far! If you’re thinking of volunteering or doing anything similar - I would say go for it!”

Shannon Flack, Cambodia overseas volunteer

“One-2-One Cambodia has partnered with Dentaid for many years to provide safe and sustainable dental care to vulnerable communities. Through this long-standing partnership, Dentaid makes two regular trips to Cambodia each year, providing essential oral healthcare and treatment to remote villages where most residents cannot afford it. This crucial partnership has brought about a significant change, restoring smiles and improving the quality of life for countless people. We deeply value this collaboration and strongly believe that by working together, we can achieve far more.”

One-2-One Cambodia, Dentaid partner organisation

Strategic report 23

February 2025 saw a milestone as we marked the first anniversary of our partnership with NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight to provide outreach dental care for people facing health inequalities across the county.

Our charity dental units helped more than 6,000 people in the first year of the partnership, including many children and young people. Together, they received 23,917 dental treatments including fillings, extractions, scale and polish and oral cancer screenings.

The initiative is aimed at reaching those who have faced issues in trying to access NHS dental care who are at highest risk of social exclusion. Clinics take place on our dental units located outside community centres, places of worship, foodbanks, public buildings and venues that support those experiencing homelessness and poverty.

Patients who need an appointment call a designated booking line and demonstrate that they meet our eligibility criteria, which include being resident in Hampshire or Isle of Wight, exempt from NHS dental charges and not having any other access to dental care.

Each clinic has allocated appointments available for emergency treatment while others book in for routine screening and ongoing dental care.

Our patients face many challenges in accessing dental services. Many tell us they made repeated calls to practices only to encounter long waiting lists or the news that no NHS appointments were available. Others lack access to public transport, have dental anxieties and phobias or need some extra support.

Most of the clinics took place in Portsmouth, Southampton and the surrounding towns of Fareham, Gosport and Havant, along with towns on the Isle of Wight such as Newport and Sandown. In 2025 we expanded services to the north of the county including Andover and Basingstoke and the New Forest.

The partnership has also enabled us to provide care for head and neck cancer patients undergoing treatment at University Hospital Southampton, children with additional needs who were on long waiting lists after being referred by community dental services and those supported by homeless health services.

Awareness of the project is raised by schools where children are at higher risk of health inequalities, along with charity partners and through community groups.

Clinics often coincide with a foodbank, drop-in service or community activity and the patients we see include the most vulnerable in society, in line with our charitable objectives of providing care for those in the greatest need.

As expected, demand has been high and the results for our patients have been transformative. By providing dentistry for those facing social exclusion, including many who require more complex or urgent care, the project is creating capacity elsewhere in the system, helping to remove barriers to care and ensuring teams can see the greatest number of people in need.

Local news reporting on the success of the first year of clinics for under-served communities in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight

Our clinicians support patients who have suffered pain, embarrassment and anxiety stemming from their oral health and have become disconnected from dentistry as a result.

Through this innovative partnership with NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Dentaid The Dental Charity is uniting charitable work and commissioned clinical services to help vulnerable patients achieve positive treatment outcomes.

“I would like to sincerely thank you for your incredible help and support! Thanks to your professionalism, commitment and cordiality I was able to get through these difficult moments with a smile on my face.

Thank you for the patience with which you answered my questions and for the care you showed at every stage of treatment. Thank you for all the kind words, smiles and gestures that made me feel better. Your optimism and warmth were like sunshine on a cloudy day. I am extremely grateful for everything you did for me.” Patient from Southampton

“I've struggled to register with an NHS dentist for the past three years, since moving to Hampshire. It's great to have Dentaid as an option, especially while being pregnant. The team was fantastic, the check up was straightforward and easy, with lots of great recommendations for dental hygiene and treatment options going forward. Hugely appreciative of the service that is available.”

Patient from Portsmouth

Strategic report 25

Dentaid is incredibly fortunate to have a diverse range of funders and fundraising activities that support our work. From long-lasting corporate partnerships to a fun-filled events programme, community initiatives to relationships with trusts and foundations that truly see the societal impact of our work. This fundraising mix enables us to consolidate our work and reach new communities in urgent need of our help.

Trusts and grants

Dentaid The Dental Charity is incredibly grateful to the managers, administrators and trustees of the grants, trusts and foundations which provided Dentaid with £221,118.48 funding in the financial year.

Grants of over £10,000 included support from the Duchy Health Charity to enable us to commence a new project for people experiencing homelessness in Cornwall, The Valentine Charitable Trust for core costs, Monday Charitable Trust, Ellen Alice Cooper Dean Charitable Foundation for new projects in Bournemouth, The John Swire 1989 Charitable Trust for our work in Kent and the Partnership Foundation which supported new outreach dental services for survivors of domestic violence in Portsmouth.

Corporate partnerships

A voucher scheme from Oral-B Professionals directly funded our clinics in York, Exeter, Bristol, Worthing and Sefton and enabled us to start projects in new locations.

This year Septodont extended its support by funding the refurbishment of a second charity dental unit supported by the Kentbased company. Nestor – named after one of the company’s founders – is providing outreach dental services across the southwest of England. Septodont also kindly supports and hosts our Kent team and provides us with dental

pharmaceuticals for our charity clinics.

We also could not carry out the important, educational work of our BrightBites scheme without the financial and logistical support of Denplan. Many of Denplan’s own members of staff join in with delivering sessions to schools, nurseries, after-school clubs, and at community events across the country.

26 Strategic report

Community fundraising

Community fundraising is an area of growth and we are incredibly grateful to all those who bake, dance, run, jump, walk or swim for Dentaid. Dental practices across the UK are supporting our work either by taking part in challenges or encouraging their patients to dig deep.

Our fundraising events programme in this financial year included our first-ever track day, with 20 drivers hitting the Thruxton race circuit in high-powered performance cars and go-karts.

Plenty of runners took part in challenges ranging from 5-kilometre fun runs to marathons, and beyond. Some went even further by taking on Ultra Challenge events.

The annual skydive in Salisbury was a great success and many others joined in with skydive events around the country in support of Dentaid in 2024 and 2025.

In addition, our work has been supported by the kind generosity of fundraisers taking part in a wide range of events and challenges, from a team climbing challenge up Mount Snowdon and a 100km sponsored row to beach cleans and bake sales.

Corporate events

September saw the return of the Straumann Group Charity Bike Ride, which this year saw 51 riders tackle a 500-mile challenge cycling from the top to the toe of Portugal, culminating with a grand finale in the seaside town of Albufeira. Their hard work led to more than £80,000 being raised for a new charity dental unit.

More than 70 walkers joined the third annual Miles for Smiles event at Dentsply Sirona’s headquarters in Surrey in June. The popular 13-mile event raised more than £15,000 in 2024, with participants ranging from dental professionals and employees to partners and friends. They braved changing conditions, from sunshine to thunderstorms, to support our mobile dental clinics.

Strategic report 27

As the charity continues to grow, we have further developed our sources of funding for our charitable activities. Our UK clinics receive funding via grants, trusts and charities, by local authorities and the NHS and from corporate partners. In addition to our UK clinics, we receive funding for our BrightBites oral education for children programme and from volunteers for our overseas clinics. We are also extremely grateful for individual donations and the associated gift aid.

In the financial year March 2024 to April 2025 our income was £3,088,506. Our income breaks down as follows:

Funding from trusts and

grants

We receive funding through various different funders which allow us to deliver clinics to vulnerable groups of people across the UK. These funds are linked to projects targeting specific groups of people including those experiencing homelessness, vulnerable women, those in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, families in poverty, survivors of abuse and refugees and asylum seekers.

Corporate support and

events

We receive funding through donations from corporate partnerships, both from inside and outside the dental industry. These can take the form of one-off donations for individual projects, support for specific charity dental units and support of events and fundraising initiatives.

Donations and Gift Aid

We receive donations from long-standing corporate partners, which can be specifically to fund clinics or as income to support the operation of Dentaid. Additionally we receive donations and, if appropriate, gift aid from individual supporters.

Funding from local councils

Funding in partnership with charities

We work in partnership with our host charities to secure funding for our dental clinics. By working together, we can sustain services and ensure that we can provide regular dental provision for their clients.

Funding from statutory

sources

In Hampshire and Isle of Wight we work in partnership with NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board to deliver dental care for people facing health inequalities.

Overseas fundraising

These are funds raised by volunteers attending our overseas trips in Uganda, Malawi and Cambodia. Each participant is required to raise money to pay for expenses including flights, accommodation, meals on working days, in-country travel and materials required to provide free care for thousands of patients.

BrightBites programme

We receive funding from Denplan to provide our BrightBites oral health education programme in schools, nurseries and childcare settings in areas of social deprivation across the country.

Dentaid The Dental Charity works in partnership with local councils’ rough sleeping and public health teams to provide dental services for those in greatest need. These partnerships are part of projects that improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people facing health inequalities.

Our core activity is providing dental care though our mobile clinics. Just under two thirds of our expenditure is invested in delivering these clinics across the UK.

This year we also spent £151,527 on delivering BrightBites sessions, covering the cost of purchasing oral health education and promotional materials and supporting our oral health educators across the country.

The cost of delivering these clinics was just short of £1.8 million. Costs incurred included covering maintenance and fuel for our mobile dental units, equipment costs, staff wages and the cost of accommodation for members of staff visiting clinics.

Like every charity we invest in fundraising activity and require support teams and infrastructure to manage the charity efficiently. These support costs have reduced from 26.4% in the previous year to 22.6% this year, so that 77.4p in every £1 raised is devoted to our charitable activities.

Our other two core activities are overseas volunteering trips and our BrightBites education programme. We spent £217,555 into our overseas programme this financial year for flights, accommodation and other expenses linked to our visits to Uganda, Cambodia and Malawi.

30 Strategic report

It has a been an exceptional, record year for Dentaid financially. In the year ending 31st March 2025 we saw a surplus of £293,162, compared with £97,507 in 2024. This has considerably improved our unrestricted reserves position, providing financial sustainability and the funds to invest in additional mobile dental units, with the first new vehicle to be available in January 2026.

Income grew by 87% from £1.65 million to £3.08 million, and costs by 79% from £1.56 million to £2.79 million. Renewal of a significant NHS contract coupled with unprecedented, one-off corporate donations and sponsorships have enhanced income over expenditure delivering the surplus.

The infrastructure of the charity has also been enhanced, with a sizable growth in employee numbers to ensure we deliver our activities efficiently and effectively, with 77 pence in every £1 received being spent on clinics and education, an improvement of 4p year on year.

Our reserves policy aims to ensure we can continue delivering free dental care to those in our society that need it, protecting us from short term bumps and allowing us to take new opportunities and honour our funder commitments. Our free reserves now stand at £586,000, an increase of £364,000 on the previous year.

This increased funding enabled us to further deliver on our charitable objectives, delivering 1,113 clinics, 674 more than the previous year as the scale of the charity expanded, with a corresponding increase in activity delivery and operational running costs.

Strategic report 31

Dentaid The Dental Charity continues to experience rapidly increasing demand for our services and sustained growth. These four strategic priorities will ensure our charity continues to respond to opportunities and lead the way in the years ahead.

Being thought leaders

We know we are experts in effective methods of providing outreach dental services for under-served groups. Our next steps are to evaluate the financial, individual and societal impact of our work

and present peer-reviewed academic evidence that illustrates the need for and benefits of our delivery model.

Reducing our carbon footprint

Over the next five years, evaluating and reducing our environmental impact will inform our strategic decisions. We will be looking at ways to replace our fleet with lower-emission vehicles, reduce the use of plastic, cut mileage and fuel consumption and make environmental efficiencies across the organisation.

Being local

As we expand our work across the UK, local delivery will be critical to our future growth and success. Regional services delivered by teams based in the communities we serve will help us to forge links with new project partners, volunteers, funders and supporters.

A sponsored beach clean raising funds for Dentaid

Increasing awareness

Dentaid The Dental Charity is well known and supported within the dental industry. Over the next five years increasing awareness of our work among the public,

parliamentarians, service providers for vulnerable groups and the wider charity sector will be key to our ability to help more people.

Report of the Trustees

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

Everyone connected with Dentaid The Dental Charity is unified by the goal of increasing access to safe, sustainable dental care for the most vulnerable people in our communities.

That’s why we’re so proud of the huge increase in numbers both in terms of revenue and the number of clinics we’ve delivered. In this financial year Dentaid generated income in excess of £3m, up from £1.6m in the previous year, enabling us to deliver nearly 1,100 clinics across the UK. In addition, we provided oral health education to 95,000 children through our BrightBites programme and ran 6 overseas volunteering trips in Uganda, Malawi and Cambodia treating 7,865 children and adults.

Success for us is measured in the number of people we’ve helped, the treatments they received, the project partners we’ve worked with and the outcomes that patients can enjoy now they are free from toothache.

A key benefit of our increased unrestricted income which has been generously donated or fundraised from long term corporate partners has been an increase to our fleet of mobile dental units to 11, plus one static site. We plan to continue the replacement and upgrade of older vehicles with more nimble and environmentally sustainable vehicles in the coming months and years.

We are also dependent upon and extremely grateful to our volunteers who give their time and expertise to help deliver our clinics. As we continue to grow we need to further increase our pool of volunteers to provide dental care to vulnerable people in the UK.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position and key items from last year

A surplus of £293,162 has been reported and total reserves are £1,165,321. Cash flow has been consistent during the year with a cash balance of £765,697 reported at the year end.

The charity has seen income grow to £3,088,506 from £1,653,250, driven by an expansion of operations in the UK and overseas.

In support of this growth in charitable activities, the charity expanded its team in both numbers and capabilities. It also had to manage wage inflation to ensure it kept its key personnel in line with the wider local employment market. This resulted in a 67% increase in staff wage costs, proportionate to the increase in income.

With increased activities, the charity also saw additional costs associated with travel within the UK and rent associated with the storage and maintenance of mobile dental units.

Management continues to pay close attention to its cost base, managing expenditure prudently as the charity grows. As a result, the charity has delivered another surplus, enabling it to build reserves to move the charity onto firmer financial footings. 2024/25 was an exceptional year with income growing ahead of costs. In 2025/26, it is anticipated that the charity will fully invest its income into charitable activities, with results being nearer break even.

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources for UK operations are from grant and trusts, donations and statutory funders. The charity also receives income from individual fundraisers for overseas trips and benefits significantly from support from industry corporates.

The growth in project income was largely driven by grants and trusts and NHS funding for the provision of dental clinics in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

34 Report of the trustees

As Dentaid requires funding that is appropriate to grant sources, we consider that we are well placed with a good reputation to further increase grant funding in future years. We also expect to be able to increase project income in future years as our reputation and awareness of our charitable work continues to grow.

Fundraising and events income is an important source of income raised via our industry and supporter connections. We have also been able to ship dental equipment to Malawi to support our overseas activities.

Dentaid maintains a dedicated fundraising team within its organisational structure.

The trustees have agreed that the appropriate level of free reserves should be equivalent to between three and six months of core operating expenditure. This level is reviewed annually to ensure it remains appropriate to the charity's size, structure and risk profile. Free reserves are defined as unrestricted reserves less fixed assets and stock.

At the 31st March 2025 the organisation has reserves of £1,065,321 of which £1,108,601 were unrestricted. Unrestricted reserves include fixed assets of £488,850 and stock of £36,960. Excluding these assets our free reserves at the 31st March 2025 were £582,791.

Going concern

Reserves policy

Dentaid The Dental Charity holds reserves to ensure the long-term financial sustainability and stability of its operations. In the last three years the charity's activities have grown rapidly, increasing demands on its infrastructure and operational capacity which need to be underpinned by financial resilience.

The trustees have assessed the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

As Dentaid expands its network of charity dental clinics, reserves support investment in volunteer recruitment, training and, where necessary, the ability to pay dental professionals to maintain continuity of care.

Reserves also provide essential flexibility to fund the ongoing infrastructure and IT development that will streamline data management and improve efficiency.

With a growing need for unrestricted income to fortify charitable delivery, reserves provide financial resilience against fluctuations in corporate and fundraising support. They also ensure that Dentaid can maintain services while investing in the replacement of its ageing fleet of mobile dental units, which are vital to reaching vulnerable communities.

Furthermore, reserves provide flexibility to respond to shifts in the political and social environment that may affect funding or service delivery.

The trustees (who are also the directors of Dentaid Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

38 Report of the trustees

Report of the Independent Auditors TO THE MEMBERS OF DENTAID LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Dentaid Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Report of the independent auditors 39

Other matters

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of our audit procedures, we held discussions with management and those charged with governance to obtain an understanding of the entity and its operations. These discussions included management’s assessment of key risks, including irregularities, the potential for fraud, and the organisation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on these discussions and our independent risk assessment, we identified the key areas of audit focus as:

We determined overall financial statement materiality based on income levels, as this is considered the most relevant benchmark for a not-for-profit entity. Performance materiality was set at an appropriate level, reflecting our risk assessment.

40 Report of the independent auditors

Our audit approach included testing of internal controls and the design and execution of substantive procedures. The internal control systems in place, designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, were found to be operating as intended. Substantive testing was performed on a representative sample and did not identify any material misstatements.

Based on our substantive audit work, no material errors were identified in the key areas of income recognition or management override of controls.

We also considered the organisation’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations and found no evidence to suggest a material risk of non-compliance that would affect the financial statements.

Management has concluded that the entity is a going concern. We have reviewed supporting budgets and management accounts and found no evidence to contradict this assessment.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Limited by guarantee

The charitable company is limited by guarantee and does not have share capital. Each member of the company has agreed to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of it being wound up while they are a member, or within one year after they cease to be a member, such amount as may be required, not exceeding £1.

Going concern

The trustees are of the opinion that the Charitable Company can continue to meet its obligations for at least twelve months after the signing of the accounts and that the Charitable Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliable.

Grant income

Grant income is recognised when the charity is entitled to the funds, receipt is probable, and the amount can be reliably measured. Where grants relate to future periods or are subject to conditions not yet met, income is deferred and recognised when those conditions are satisfied. Deferred income is recorded as a liability until recognition criteria are fulfilled.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Website costs

Website costs are to be amortised over 5 years, in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful life.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Improvements to property
- 10% on cost
Plant and machinery - 20% on cost
Mobile dental units - 15% on cost
Computer equipment - 20% on cost

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost.

46 Notes to the financial statements

Stocks

Donated dental supplies received for use in the charity’s activities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the items, it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the charity, and the fair value of the items can be measured reliably.

These items are recognised as donation income at their fair value on receipt. A corresponding expense is recognised when the items are consumed in the deliverance of charitable services. Where valuation is possible, fair value is based on the replacement cost or market value of equivalent items. If reliable valuation is not possible at the time of donation, income is recognised at the point the items are used.

Donated supplies held at the year-end are recognised as stock and are measured at the lower of fair value at the date of donation and net realisable value.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Stock provision

As each reporting date, stock is assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to scrap value. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Dilapidation provision

A provision is recognised for the estimated costs of restoring leasehold properties to their original condition where the charity has a legal or constructive obligation under the lease terms. The provision reflects the best estimate of the expected outflow, based on lease agreements and, where relevant, external advice. Amounts expected to be settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified as longterm. The provision is reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary.

9. TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS

Dentaid's operations in England are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It is a requirement under CQC regulation that the Registered Manager is a member of the board to ensure that they have significant influence over board decisions on clinical governance matters. The role of Registered Manager also needs to have oversight of the day to day activities.The only person who was able to meet this criteria was Andrew Evans - CEO who is the CQC Registered Manager and therefore was made a board member. The governance rules have been amended to reflect this.

During the year, Andrew Evans received a gross salary of £56,000, employers NIC of £6,473 and employers’ pension of £2,164. This is due to him being CEO. The charity had authority to pay this under their governing document.

Trustees' expenses

During the year five trustees (2024: four trustees) were reimbursed out of pocket expenses totalling £3,642 (2024: £1,454).

The total employee remuneration, benefits and taxation paid to key management personnel during the year amounted to £226,718 (2024: £201,293).

13. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT

Certain comparative amounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. These reclassification do not affect total assets, total liabilities, or profit for the year.

Support costs, Management (Note 7): Depreciation in relation to plant and machinery (2024: £7,051), were previously included in management support costs. However, the depreciation of the plant and machinery assets is the dental equipment inside the vehicles which is more in line with the charitable activities for the charity, this depreciation expense has been reclassified to charitable activities.

Movement in funds (Note 20): The unrestricted designated funds of 'Overseas Volunteer Trips', 'UK Capital', 'UK Treatment' and 'Overseas Project' were classified in the prior year and all related to the general unrestricted fund. .These amounts have been reclassified into one unrestricted general fund for the current and prior year. No funds have been designated in either the current or prior year.

During the current year, it was determined that there was no requirement to have two restricted funds for overseas activities, Therefore two funds were merged into one fund being 'Overseas Trips and Overseas Projects', this is line with the restriction of the funds when they were received.

These reclassification have been made solely for presentation purposes to improve comparability with the current year.
