Ollie and Darsh opened their practice to help people who are involved with the charity Nugent Care.

Thirteen profoundly deaf people attended the event and received free dental check up and free treatment.

The deaf people were delighted to have the opportunity to talk with a dentist and ask questions about their dental health. Many of the group were afraid and anxious about visiting the dentist because they had  had a number of bad experiences with communication difficulties. Imagine if you are deaf and the dentist puts on a mask, you have no idea what the dentist is saying to you because you are unable to see his mouth!

Ollie and Darsh took time to sit and talk with every individual (assisted by a sign language interpreter from Nugent Care), they put the client at ease and explained the procedures and talked about ways to look after teeth and gums.

The deaf people left the practice feeling they had been treated like VIP’s and had received a first class service .

Thank you Ollie and Darsh!

Did you know that substance misuse (drugs and alcohol) is one of the most serious health problems affecting employers today?

The costs are staggering.  British businesses are losing more than £20 billion a year in crime, absenteeism, accidents, lost productivity and related problems. All of this is affecting your bottom line.

Substance misuse training can help you to minimise those losses. Do you know the effects of misusing drugs and alcohol? Would you know where to sign post someone to get help? Do you understand about drugs and the law? Would you know how to approach or challenge an employee whom you think may be abusing drugs or alcohol?

Lighthouse Project are able to offer you answers to all these questions and more through cost effective training from the experts.
