School fundraising
Spread a Smile appeal
If you're a homeless person serious dental problems can cause a great deal of distress and for the thousands of homeless people in the country today, trouble with dental care is just one of the many issues they face every day of the year.
With little or no access to regular dental treatments homeless people can suffer in silence and often by the time they can see a dentist - if they are lucky enough to see one at all - it can be too late to save their teeth.
Your school can put a smile back on a homeless person's face
We know that dentists and teeth aren't always the most appealing topics for children so we have created a fun, interactive pack to really capture their imagination. Simply download the sheets below for your Spread a Smile pack.
By helping us to raise money through your Spread a Smile pack your pupils can make a real difference to a homeless person's life. Just think, you may even put a smile on their face!
Fundraising pack
Our schools' fundraising pack is full of all the information you need to organise a fundraising event as well as posters and information sheets about homelessness and the work Crisis does.
