Age Concern Hampshire, a charity providing support to the older community of Hampshire, has announced its expansion of foot care services due to increased demand. New clinics will be launched in North Hampshire, specifically in Tadley and Farnborough, with plans for additional locations in the future. This growth aims to make essential foot health services more accessible to local residents in these areas.
The timing of this expansion is aligned with Foot Health and Mobility Awareness Month in September, a national campaign that highlights the importance of regular foot care for maintaining independence, mobility, and overall wellbeing as we age. With many older people at a higher risk for foot-related issues, early attention and consistent care can significantly improve their quality of life. The 6-weekly foot health checks offered at the clinics will identify potential issues at an earlier stage.
Una Davey, Head of Commercial at Age Concern Hampshire, stated, “Our Foot Care service has seen a steady increase in demand, and we are proud to be growing to meet that need. The new clinics in North Hampshire will allow us to support even more people to remain active and independent for as long as possible.”
The clinics offer essential services such as toenail cutting and comprehensive foot health checks. Appointments are available every six weeks and are conducted by qualified practitioners with experience in meeting the foot care needs of older people. Regular care helps prevent issues that can affect mobility, comfort, and overall wellbeing.
With the expansion of services across Hampshire, Age Concern Hampshire will reach more communities and support more people in leading healthy, mobile lives.
Appointments for the foot care clinics can be booked by calling 01962 868545 or by visiting the charity’s website. Age Concern Hampshire is also seeking Volunteer Foot Care Receptionists to assist with administrative tasks and provide a warm welcome to clients at various clinic locations. Interested individuals can visit the website to apply online.
