Age Concern Hampshire Expands its Foot Care Services across the County  

Age Concern Hampshire Foot Care Clinics

Age Concern Hampshire is growing its foot care services due to increased demand. As part of this growth, new clinics are being launched in North Hampshire, including in Tadley and Farnborough, with additional locations planned, helping to make essential foot health services more accessible to local residents in those areas. 

This growth comes at a timely moment, aligning with Foot Health and Mobility Awareness Month in September, a national campaign that highlights how regular foot care plays a crucial role in maintaining independence, mobility and wellbeing as we age. With many older people at increased risk of foot related issues, early attention and consistent care can make a significant difference in quality of life and the 6-weekly foot health checks identify potential issues at an earlier stage. 

“Our Foot Care service has seen a steady increase in demand, and we are proud to be growing to meet that need,” says Una Davey, Head of Commercial at Age Concern Hampshire. “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 provide vital services such as toenail cutting and comprehensive foot health checks. Appointments are available every six weeks and delivered by qualified practitioners who are experienced in meeting the foot care needs of older people. Ongoing care helps to prevent issues that can impact mobility, comfort and overall wellbeing. 

With services now expanding across Hampshire, Age Concern Hampshire is reaching more communities and supporting more people in leading healthy, mobile lives.

Helping Older People in Hampshire Live and Age Well

ACH Saturday Opening

Age Concern Hampshire offer a varied range of options to support older people in the county to live and age well.

The charity’s Care and Wellbeing Centres make a significant difference to the lives of older individuals by providing vital services that promote health, wellbeing, social connection and independence.

Maintaining physical activity, mental engagement, and social connections becomes increasingly important as we age, playing a key role in supporting overall health and wellbeing. Age Concern Hampshire’s wellbeing groups and Care and Wellbeing Centres offer a variety of stimulating activities and a welcoming environment designed to nurture both mind and body.

Loneliness and social isolation remain significant challenges for many older people, particularly those living alone. The charity addresses this through its Care and Wellbeing Centres, which offer safe, friendly spaces where individuals can build friendships, share meals, and take part in meaningful activities.

In addition, the Help at Home service offers practical in-home support with everyday tasks such as cleaning, shopping, and companionship. This enables older people to maintain their independence, remain in the comfort of their own homes, and reduce feelings of isolation.

Family carers also benefit from tailored day care services at the Care & Wellbeing Centres, including specialist support for those caring for loved ones living with dementia. These services offer much-needed respite and peace of mind.

Each centre also offers a professional foot care service, which provides professional toenail cutting and basic foot health checks. Delivered by fully qualified Foot Health Practitioners, the service is available at various locations across Hampshire as well as at our centres, supporting mobility, comfort and overall independence for older people. 

“Our mission is to support older people across Hampshire to live well and age well,” said Una Davey, Head of Commercial at Age Concern Hampshire. “Through a wide range of services including Care and Wellbeing Centres, Foot Care, Help at Home and Wellbeing Services, we aim to promote independence, reduce isolation and improve quality of life for individuals and their families.”
