Age UK Merton is running a new Nail Cutting Service for older people in Merton. This will be delivered through the At Home Services Team and run at local community centres. We aim to eventually develop a service where people can be visited in their own home.

Nail cutting is one of those things we often take for granted, but for many older people it becomes increasingly difficult to manage, leading to painful feet and contributing to problems with mobility, falls and eventually isolation.

We are looking for volunteers with a passion for helping older people in their local community. Do you have great practical and social skills to undertake this role in a way which makes people feel at ease?  

We are looking for a commitment of one half day weekly (or even monthly) in a local community venue.  You will receive full training and be supported throughout your role.

Support an older person in your local community today. Call us on 020 8648 5792 or email volunteering@ageukmerton.org.uk.
