Sole Mates is a simple footcare service to help maintain and improve the independence and mobility of older people in our community. It is not a medical service but a common sense approach to basic footcare. Volunteers visit older people in their own homes or in easily accessible community locations, where they spend time with each client chatting while they bathe their feet, trim their toenails and finish with a relaxing gentle foot massage.

This service is offered in older people's homes, day centres and at special footcare sessions in community venues. Regular treatments are given every 6 to 8 weeks, dependent on individual need. This service is for older people who are unable to cut their own nails through reasons of frailty and difficulty bending, poor eyesight or problems with dexterity. There is a fee of £7 per treatment.
