Charitable partnership

The Tanzanian-based charity delivers training for rural based Health Workers in Africa providing them with the skills, equipment and resources needed to offer free emergency dental care in their communities.

Since 2005, Bridge2Aid has trained more than 290 health workers and plans are in place to expand the service into new regions of Tanzania as well as other East African countries. 

As part of this, an emergency appeal to raise £50,000 has been launched and the ADG has responded by pledging to support the organisation with a donation of £14,000 which includes becoming one of the charity’s corporate sponsors over the next 12 months.

David Worskett, chair of the ADG, said: “We are very pleased to be supporting the vital work which is carried out by Bridge2Aid.  Dealing with oral pain and its consequences is a part of everyday life and something often taken for granted in the UK. However, in other parts of the world it is a real problem which can spiral to more serious consequences if not treated by trained professionals.
