Over the last year, the Oral Health Foundation has invested nearly more than £1 million on improving oral health education and awareness. This could not have happened without your support.

But there’s more we can do.

Tooth decay remains the most common chronic disease in the world and other conditions like gum disease continue to have a debilitating impact on millions of lives. Each year in the UK, poor oral health leaves more than 35,000 children hospitalised, while 8,300 people are diagnosed with mouth cancer.

This is why we need your help.

Whether you are just starting out or are part of a multinational organisation, our team are here to create a partnership tailored around you, playing to the strengths of your business while making a positive difference to the landscape of oral health in the UK. 

Whether you want to take part in fundraising activities, volunteer your time or donate through sponsorship, matched donations or payroll giving, we will work with you to develop the perfect package for your business.

Fundraising

• There are so many great ways for staff to fundraise - even while at home. You could put on digital raffles, auctions, board games or e-sports events, coffee mornings, and quiz nights.

• Corporate challenges are a fantastic way to encourage team building, networking and getting your colleagues involved in a charity partnership. How about making a pledge as a company to cut xxx teaspoons of sugar out of your team's diet?

• As a company you can support matched donations. If staff raise money for National Smile Month, your company could consider matching what they make.

• Cause-related marketing is a great way for your company to boost sales while also giving back. For example, why not donate something to the Oral Health Foundation for every new customer you receive?
