We provide community based volunteer delivered footcare in Edinburgh to people finding it a struggle to maintain this independently. We work with the support of NHS Lothian
Podiatry to carry out general footcare and train volunteers to: cut toenails, file hard skin, carry out footchecks and chat with
service users about their footcare. We are a non-podiatry service and can give referral advice on all other footcare
concerns.
Caring Soles Personal Footcare Service provides volunteer-led footcare in community settings in

We have delivered over 400 appointments across the city to people from the ages of 50 to 98. We are looking for
