Foot Care

We currently charge £25.00 per session. A one-off payment of £15 is also taken at the first session to cover the cost of the client’s own personal file and toenail clippers. This equipment will be kept by you and used only for your treatment. It will need to be brought to each appointment, without this equipment we will be unable to cut your nails.

Please note, this service is not available outside Age UK Reading - Head Office's catchment area.
