Age Concern Hampshire is urging older people to prioritise regular toenail cutting and foot checks.
The charity says these are vital for maintaining foot health and preventing falls.
Its Foot Care clinics, located throughout the county, offer affordable six-weekly appointments.
These help prevent discomfort, improve balance and reduce the risk of falls, ensuring older people can maintain their mobility and live more comfortably.

Michele Ralph, foot care coordinator at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "As we expand our clinic locations across Hampshire, we’re making foot care more accessible and affordable to those who need it most. Regular foot checks and toenail cutting are crucial for preventing falls and helping older people maintain their mobility and comfort."
Each appointment is conducted by a fully qualified foot health practitioner, who performs routine foot health checks as part of the service.
These check-ups provide an opportunity to identify early signs of other foot issues, such as fungal infections, ingrown toenails and other conditions.
Early detection enables prompt treatment, helping to prevent these problems from escalating and promoting better overall foot health.
