​On October 13, 2022, a team from Dentsply Sirona was delighted to present a donation cheque for £5,581 to Dentaid.

This impressive total was raised by ‘Miles for Smiles’, a charity walk on September 30, 2022, organised by Dentsply Sirona. The event saw two intrepid groups walk 22.7km around London and Manchester to raise money for this worthy cause.

The cheque was handed over to Dentaid representatives at one of their mobile dental units in Hastings, by Francois Loiseau, vice president and general manager of Dentsply Sirona UK and Ireland, Louise Locke, sales training lead UK and Ireland and Ian Huggett, digital marketing executive.

The team then went on to visit a local homeless shelter in Hastings to see some of Dentaid’s vital work in action.

Speaking after the event, Francois commented, “Meeting some of the Dentaid team first-hand and seeing the life-changing work they do brought home to us how important it is for us all to come together and find ways of supporting those in need, particularly in these straitened times.

“We are very proud of the amount our inaugural Miles for Smiles walk was able to raise and we’d like to thank everyone who took part. We’d also like to thank Dental Sky, Trycare and Manan for sponsoring the event.”
