Before March, the Trust was rapidly expanding into more schools and nurseries around London and the South East. We trained 5 new settings in Newham, 2 in Brent and rolled out into 13 settings in Crawley, West Sussex. They implemented our Oral Health Programmes and free Live Smart Supervised tooth brushing programmes and we now reach over 3,500 children across 45 schools and nurseries. Our work in the UK continues to grow. In Luton, London, Paddington and Newham, we are now reaching children in 25 nursery and primary schools. We continue to be grateful to the support of the teachers who carry out our programmes following our intensive training sessions. Good relationships have been built between our schools supervisor, Mrs Alison Gellman, who has been training and maintaining the programme in all our schools. ## **Raising awareness of Oral Health Issues in the UK** We continue to raise awareness about the 48,000 children who have to go into hospital to have their rotten teeth extracted under general anaesthetic. This is of great concern and there are several reasons why this is occurring. Some of the reasons are poverty, lack of education about oral health, social issues, lack of parental and family support for children, children living in difficult conditions and temporary housing, lack of good nutrition, consumption of excess sugar from fizzy drinks to sodas and energy drinks and child neglect. Oral health is a basic human right. It is the human right of each child to have the right to health and the right to Oral Health. ## **The DWT Mission** The Dental Wellness Trust mission is to improve children's oral health through dental wellness through our preventive care programmes which take place daily in schools. As tooth decay is a global problem which is more prevalent in impoverished communities, we aim to implement our programmes in schools with the highest need. Many children suffer from tooth decay and our mission is to reduce this, alleviate suffering in children who have tooth ache and thus cannot go to school. Our Live Smart Supervised Free Toothbrushing programmes have been shown to make a huge impact in improving children's oral health. ## **Where we work?** Numbers of children in our toothbrushing programmes 2020 The UK 3,500 South Africa: Cape Town 15,000 with the help of 15 toothbrush mamas help to coordinate the daily and evening Live Smart Programmes ## **How carry out our duties:** We measure of effectivity through our research programmes and our auditing and monitoring processes and impact measurement from our pro. Over the past few years, the Dental Wellness Trust research team have undertaken 4 research studies. ## **Our research Studies:** Elderly Oral Health Study : Dr Alon Livny, Dr Leon Geffen, Dr Linda Greenwall, Dr Siobhan Anthony, Dr Luke Greenfield Livesmart toothbrushing programmes: quantitative and qualitative presented at IADR in Cape Town Conference 2014 Dr Alon Livny, Dr Linda Greenwall, Professor Neil Myburgh WellCon Study: Constic Community Fissure Sealant Programme carried out from 2013-2015 Dr Linda Greenwall, Dr Susanne Effenberger, Dr Alon Livny, Dr Siobhan Antony, Professor Neil Myburgh, Dr Dirk Smit- Presented at The IADR Conference in London 2018 Page 2 **DENTAL WELLNESS TRUST** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020** Wellflair Study: 3 Fluoride Varnish Study undertaken in Cape Town in 2 schools. The children have varnish applied onto their teeth every 3 months by the toothbrush mamas and the children's teeth are checked every 6 months. Those Involved Dr Linda Greenwall, Professor Neil Myburgh, Dr Susanne Effenberger, Dr Marcus Cebula, Dr Dirk Smit, Dr Harriet Wright, Dr Jack Macsweeney. The first year results of the study have been presented by Dr Harriet Wright at the 2019 IADR Conference in Vancouver. We have completed 3 years of this study and will plan to expand the Wellflair Varnish study into more schools in the community. Soup Kitchens in Khayalitcha and Mfuleni during Covid Pandemic. Our team was managed by co chairs Karen Tollman and Rebecca Bryer of the Dental Wellness Foundation- the South African charity that Dental Wellness Trust supports. During Lockdown in South Africa, while schools were closed, we served 75,000 meals to the children in our programmes as there was little food available. 13 Soup Kitchens, run by the toothbrush mamas were set up to help feed the children in our programmes. However, when the Covid - 19 pandemic struck, our schools closed, we decided we could reach out to other parts of society where our charitable work would continue to help those most in need at this time. Before care homes even came into the spot light, we decided to provide much needed tooth brushes and toothpaste to those vulnerable members of society who would be struggling at this time as the lack of visitors to keep Covid-19 at bay meant that essential personal hygiene essentials could not reach them. Since the first week of lockdown we provided tooth brushes and toothpaste to a variety of places. Initially, we offered all our participating schools supplies to give out to families who were most in need; not just for the children but the adults too. We also contacted and provided brushes and paste to Crisis and Age UK. We were fortunate to have had 2 donations just before lockdown from Dentaid and GSK. Dentaid donated over 3,000 tubes of toothpaste that also contained a brush in every box and GSK donated 500 tubes of Aquafresh. Without these donations we could never have reached so many vulnerable people so quickly. Our work quickly spread to charities supporting adults with special needs living in care facilities, old age homes, care homes, hospices and many homeless charities that are providing hotel accommodation to those with nowhere to live. We even saw a request from The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital which has become a trauma hospital for emergencies where bones may be involved. Patients were arriving with nothing and no visitors were allowed. The charity there had to provide everything, from clothes to personal care kits and they specifically needed toothbrushes and paste as the patients arrive from A&E. We continued to deliver to as many places as we can and continued donations through until the end of May. Our supplies were thankfully been topped up by donations from a variety of other generous companies and individuals. The Dental Wellness Trust set up #covid19Dentalchallenge calling as many dentists as possible to donate their spare brushes and paste to their own local care homes and hospices. Another of our Trustees, Hattie Wright, is currently redeployed to ICU in a major Hospital and has been able to train ICU staff in the importance of oral care during intubation. The mouth is the gateway to the body and with tubes reaching the lungs inserted, it is essential that oral hygiene is paramount in these desperately ill patients. Once Lockdown ended we saw the return to school for our participating children. The schools were understandably reluctant to restart tooth brushing whilst adjusting to the new Covid way of working. Not wanting our children to miss out, we delivered over 2,000 tooth brushes, tooth pastes and tooth brushing charts to those schools who requested them. These were packed into take home packs so that the children would have a fresh tooth brush to use at home until such time that the schools re start daily brushing. **Future Plans:** We are planning on continuing to expand our Live Smart Toothbrushing programmes in London and surrounding towns as soon as schools are ready. We need your help to expand our reach to double the number of children we are reaching in the UK and South Africa. We are planning on building and funding a mobile dental van with the collaboration of the University of the western cape so that we can continue our community engagement work and outreach to more communities. Page 3 **DENTAL WELLNESS TRUST** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020** In the UK we are also working towards funding a dental bus so that we can reach more children in need of dental care. With dentists having been closed and many now with long waiting lists, it is so important that we reach children who may be suffering. A dental van will enable us to examine and treat children at school without having to enter the building. The bus would also double as a mobile classroom. More and more schools are reluctant to admit visitors, so a bus would mean we could continue our much needed work. We have also begun an accreditation scheme in our schools with 4 tiers. This scheme will help our schools achieve Healthy Schools status or HEYL status for our nurseries. We also intend to have Covid compliant tooth brush holders in all our schools as soon as funds are raised. Approved by order of the board of trustees on 26 March 2021 and signed on its behalf by: Dr L H Greenwall - Trustee Page 4 **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DENTAL WELLNESS TRUST** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dental Wellness Trust ('the Company')** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2020. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
