Story
The Mouth Cancer Foundation is a charity dedicated to helping and supporting those living with or at risk of mouth cancer, throat cancer and other head and neck cancers, as well as providing assistance and information on living with mouth cancer for families, friends and carers.
We have built our own raft to take part in the Bedford River Festival Raft Race. We have a crew of six from the CDS-CIC Beds team who will pilot the raft. Our aim is to have fun, raise awareness, and not to sink!

CDS-CIC is a referral only dental service, bringing dental care to people who cannot be treated in general dental practice; our patients typically have learning disabilities, mental health issues or severe anxiety. They may be in situations or locations that traditional dental services cannot reach such as homelessness centres or secure settings. We are also contracted to provide oral health improvement and epidemiology programmes.
Our social purpose is to enable our communities to enjoy a better quality of life by providing the oral health care they need to thrive.
