Unfortunately, the Smile Together mobile dental unit has had to go in for some unforeseen repairs and so won't be on Newlyn Harbour on 9th & 10th November but is hoping to be there for 16th & 17th.
Anyone on the list for 9/10th will be contacted and offered appointments at their Penzance clinic instead.

The wonderful team at Smile Together are bringing their mobile dental unit to Newlyn again: 9-10th & 16-17th November 2026.

If you're an active commercial fisherman, why not book an appointment by scanning the QR code on their poster or following the link in the comments?

Thank you so much to all those in Cornwall who took part this year and helped to raise money and promote the work we do to ensure fishing families get the support they need. Special mention to The Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation & Young Fishermen Network for all your amazing videos around the different ports of Cornwall; the time and effort you put into to them and your constant support for the welfare of fishermen is so much appreciated.

💚 Welcoming Mandy to our winter outreach!

We’re really pleased to be working alongside Mandy Tredinnick, Health Improvement Practitioner with Healthy Cornwall, who will be joining our winter outreach in Newquay from November.

You may have already met Mandy out and about in the community. She’ll be joining us to offer health checks and advice to support health and wellbeing.

We increase our outreach during the winter months, recognising that this can be a better time to catch up with people across our fishing communities.

We’ve heard mixed experiences this summer, with good octopus catches and positive reports of bluefin tuna, but poor mackerel catches in some areas. There have also been ongoing concerns about fishing restrictions, uncertainty around livelihoods and wider pressures facing the industry.

It’s important that we continue to stay connected, listen to local experiences and continue to make health and wellbeing support visible and accessible.

Keep an eye out for us over the coming months, and if you see Mandy in Newquay, come over and say hello! 👋
