We have been nominated for an Impact of the year Award..

We’re really excited to share that we’ve been nominated for a HEY Smile Impact of the Year Award! 🎉

A huge thank you to the person who put us forward for this award, it genuinely means a lot to be recognised in this way.

It’s not often we get the chance to step back and reflect on what we do. Most of the time, we’re too busy just getting on with it and supporting our community. So being nominated feels extra special.

There are some phenomenal organisations shortlisted alongside us, and just being in their company is something we’re really proud of. Of course, winning would be amazing… but honestly, giving our team the chance to attend such a great event already feels like a win.

Grateful, proud, and looking forward to celebrating the awards with all who are attending and seeing the real impact happening across our communities.

Lucy, Sarah, Katie, Tamsyn & Ava
