    About this opportunity:It's never just about feet
     • 
     • 
     •  For many people across Fife, a Footcare Fife appointment means comfort, confidence and independence
     •  Age, illness and reduced mobility can make basic footcare difficult, but a little support can make a big difference to someone's everyday life
     •  Mary from Rosyth is a client who can no longer manage her own footcare due to health issues
     •  After visiting the clinic, she described feeling "much lighter" and was incredibly grateful for the support she received
     •  There are hundreds of people like Mary across Fife
     •  A simple footcare appointment can mean greater comfort, confidence and independence
     •  As a volunteer, you can help make that difference
     •  As a Footcare Volunteer, you'll help people stay active, comfortable and connected to their communities while becoming part of a friendly and supportive team
     •  For many clients, the appointment is also an opportunity to enjoy a friendly chat and social connection, something that can be especially important for those who are socially isolated or live alone
     •  No previous experience is necessary
     •  Footcare Fife provide comprehensive training, ongoing support and all the equipment you'll need
     •  All they ask is that you can commit around three hours per session, at least twice a month, and have a genuine desire to help others
