Many people are unable to access a dentist. This November join Amazing Communities Together to understand the challenge of Dental Deserts with Jill Harding from 'Dentaid'.
Amazing Communities Together (ACT)
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to champion and support grassroots decision-making, bringing people and communities together, setting local priorities and driving national change.
We’re a vibrant network of over 170 community groups working to make a real difference in our neighbourhoods. Our goal? Stronger connections and a thriving sense of community for everyone, right across the UK.
At ACT, we embrace diverse challenges and opportunities across coastal, rural, and urban areas. Our wide-ranging membership enables us to offer responsive support to community groups throughout England. We’re not just passive observers; we’re active listeners and partners in growth, ready to support our members’ development, drawing on our real-world collective expertise to co-design resident-led solutions. Our approach is rooted in practical experience, ensuring that our support is both relevant and effective for each unique community we serve.
A Time to A.C.T
This is the flagship event held once a month online and over a lunch-hour, so that anyone who wants to take part can log in and listen. Time to A.C.T has already covered topics that are important to local communities including community banking, knife crime and debt management.
