We empower local medical professionals to provide cleft treatment around the world

Story

Together we are fundraising throughout the year to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic charity, fundraisers include regular dress down days, Charity Football match and the Medway Medley Challenge in June. 

Our latest challenge is the Medway Medley, taking on the River Medway from source to mouth, covering nearly 75 miles on foot, canoe and bike. This is going to be a challenge even for the fittest members of our team. 

Cleft Care is a subject close to our hearts. One of our DHA babies born in 2021 is lucky enough to be receiving world-class treatment through the NHS, but other babies, children and adults are not so lucky around the rest of the world. That's why we are raising money for this amazing charity, in the aim that nobody with a cleft lip or palate should go without proper treatment.

Smile Train empowers medical professionals around the world with training, funding, and resources to provide free surgery and other forms of comprehensive cleft care to children in their communities. Our sustainable solution and scalable global health model drastically improve children’s lives, including their ability to eat, breathe, speak, and ultimately thrive. Supporting Smile Train gives a child access to a full range of cleft services they would have otherwise never received and ultimately the opportunity for a better quality of life.
