A Lifelong Mission of Compassion and Care

Every Smile Makes a Difference is more than a charity; it's a testament to the unwavering dedication of our founder, Doris Dokpoh. For over 34 years, Doris has served the Southend community as a nurse, driven by her passion to help others. Her commitment extends beyond the UK, as she leads the construction of a Medical and Cancer Screening Centre in Ghana.

Doris's Lifelong Dedication

Inspired by the story of the Good Samaritan, Doris has devoted her life to easing the suffering of others. Through her tireless work, she combats social isolation among the elderly in the UK with coffee mornings, dinner dances, and BBQs, creating a sense of community and joy.
