Affordable foot care clinics are helping older people stay mobile and independent.

Age Concern Hampshire is running the clinics for residents aged 50 and over, offering toenail cutting and foot health checks by qualified practitioners.

Una Davey, head of commercial at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "Our foot care clinics provide a safe, professional, and affordable service for older people who might otherwise go without vital foot care.

"With living expenses rising, we are committed to making essential foot care as affordable and accessible as possible."

The service aims to identify issues early and provide advice on when to seek specialist support.

Nearly 30 per cent of older people struggle to afford basic expenses, including healthcare.

Many delay or skip foot care appointments due to financial pressures.

Age Concern Hampshire currently operates 61 clinics across 15 venues in the county.

The charity has expanded its reach in response to growing demand.

By offering regular, affordable foot care, it aims to help older adults maintain their independence and wellbeing.
