A well known local resident and dentist has recently undertaken a series of challenges including cycling more than 200 miles and completing a Tough Mudder in full personal protective equipment (PPE) to raise money for charity following a rise in demand for mental health services as a result of the pandemic.

Simon, who has 30 years’ experience at The Dental Clinic Portishead in High Street, has so far raised over £7000.00 for Vine Counselling Services in Congresbury, a charity which offers professional counselling to help people cope with anxiety, stress, bereavement, loneliness, depression and more.

We are delighted to have been able to provide Simon with a large donation that has help him reach and surpass his £5000.00 target.
