About Footscape
What We Do
Footscape recognises the importance of healthy feet for disadvantaged persons to maintain overall health, keep physically active and participate in social activities. However, for many individuals it can be difficult to access Podiatry services or afford new shoes to care for their feet.
Footscape works together with affiliate organisations to:
- Deliver volunteer Podiatry services.
- Provide free shoes, socks, orthotic devices and foot care kits.
- Train health care workers about foot care.
It’s a focussed and efficient system which has positively impacted thousands of lives.
Who We Are
Since Footscape began our journey, a dedicated committee and volunteer network have used skills in public health, community development, finance and information technology to assist disadvantaged persons with foot problems.
If you would like to help, there are a range of ways you can do so:
