A charity remains dedicated to promoting excellent foot health by offering essential services and health checks to Hampshire’s ageing population.

Age Concern Hampshire has said that its foot care clinics are about more than just health, but also about helping people maintain their independence and quality of life.

The charity said that good foot health is critical for maintaining independence and overall health in older adults.

Neglected feet can lead to various health issues, including infections, reduced mobility, and increased risk of falls.

Michele Ralph, foot care coordinator at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "Healthy feet are crucial for mobility and overall health, and our clinics provide an essential service to ensure our community’s older adults can stay active and pain-free."
