Appointment Bookers
Appointment bookers needed across Powys to help older people!
We need people to help meet and greet older people and book their appointments in our Simply Nails clinics across Powys.
No nail-cutting required, only appointment-booking (we have a separate volunteer opportunity for nail-cutting).
Footcare may seem like a small thing, but it can make a big difference to older people’s lives.
Many older people cannot cut their own toenails and this can cause painful and serious issues including:
Painful feet = Difficult to put shoes on and walk
Problems walking = Increased risk of falling
Falls for elderly people = Dangerous for physical and mental health
Reduced mobility = Major cause of social isolation
Simply Nails is a not-for-profit footcare service for Powys residents aged 50+ run by Age Cymru Powys. We hold clinics across Powys where we carry out basic footcare.
It’s also an opportunity to chat to older people about how they are getting on.
There is a big demand for our Simply Nails service and we need more appointment-booking volunteers to keep it running. Volunteers receive full training and support from Age Cymru Powys – you would be working with us in one of our super-friendly teams.
Our volunteers love the opportunity to do something wonderful for older people, that helps them get out, socialise and helps prevent falls.
We currently need volunteers for our 8 clinics in Welshpool, Brecon, Ystradgynlais, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells, Newtown, Presteigne and Crickhowell.
We are also looking to open new footcare clinics in additional locations across Powys, so please do get in touch if your area is not listed.
Come and join our friendly teams – only a few hours per month is required – and have fun booking appointments whilst enjoying lots of tea, biscuits and good conversation with older people in your area of Powys.
