FOCUS ON7
Two new members of the Dentaid
team describe what working for
the charity means to them.
Pete Burch
Trusts, Grants
and Community
Fundraising Officer
Claire Soper
UK Clinics
Manager
“We’ve all had
toothache at some
point, but very few of
us have had toothache
whilst also being
hungry, wondering
where we will sleep,
whether we’ll be
safe overnight or not
knowing if anyone will
be able to help us.
Working for Dentaid
“I have always
wanted to work in a
role which made a
difference to others.
Each day working at
Dentaid gives me the
opportunity to use
my skills and passion
for dentistry to help
everyone I meet, which
is the most worthwhile
work, I could hope for.”
on a clinic is like
witnessing kids
opening presents on
Christmas Day. It really
is such a rewarding
experience to know
that, today, we have
dramatically improved
an individual’s
wellbeing, health and
quality of life.”
Finance
As for all charities, the last financial year has
been a challenging one for Dentaid. Whilst our
income was reducing due to the influence of the
pandemic, our expenses were rising.
Just before the pandemic Dentaid had increased
the team size anticipating an increase in our
work. The charitable activities costs for the
year 2020/21 were £357,044 as compared to
£309,318 the year before. To balance out the
reduction in income, Dentaid decided to invest
in enlarging its fundraising team to enable the
charity to concentrate on funding applications to
trusts and grants, the successful results of which
can be seen in the graph below.
The total income for the year 2020/21
was £457,175 compared to £538,211 the
previous year.
Dentaid finished the year in an improved financial
position on previous years with total funds of
£527,020 including stock. However, with a full
programme of UK clinics planned for 2021/22
and the ever changing situation in respect of
Dentaid’s ability to run overseas trips, Dentaid
will need the backing of its regular supporters to
ensure it can continue to develop as a charity and
meet the needs of its patients.
