Small amounts of metal. Big Impact.

Gold for Kids began in 2018 with a simple but powerful idea:

What if the precious metals discarded every day in dental practices could be turned into something truly life-changing?

Founders Leticia Casanova and her husband David, along with their friend Kimberley MacGregor, had just become parents for the first time. As they held their own children close, they couldn’t ignore a heartbreaking truth:

1 in 3 children in the UK are growing up in poverty.

They wanted to do something. Something practical. Something lasting.

So they combined their experience in dentistry, their network of generous professionals, and their belief that
small acts, multiplied, can make a difference.

How it Works:

GATHER

Fill your pot with restorations & broken or unwanted jewellery

Crowns, inlays, bridgework, broken jewellery - just drop them in the pot we send you. Every bit of scrap helps fund brighter futures.

SEND

Pop it in the post to us, & it's job done.

When your pot’s full, send it back to us. Most donors cover postage as part of their gift. It’s easy, quick, and makes a big difference.

SUPPORT

Your scrap becomes life-changing support.

We melt it down and donate the funds to trusted UK charities helping children facing poverty, hunger, and unstable home lives.

The numbers so far

So far, nearly £50,000 has been raised by just 30 practices.

That’s hope — from what would otherwise be waste.

Small amounts of metal. Big impact.

We exist because of you

We exist because of people like you — practice owners, managers, nurses, associates, lab techs — who want to do good quietly, practically, and consistently.

It’s not about grand gestures.

It’s about making your care go further.
