The Clacton On Sea 'Leg Club' is a new service being set up to serve the local community in the Tendring area.

The service will be self funded and will rely on donations and money being raised by volunteers within the community.

The purpose of this service is to provide treatment, health promotion, education and ongoing care for people who are experiencing lower leg related problems within a social environment.

The Leg Club staff (nurses & volunteers) will work in a unique partnership with patients (who once they join become members) and the local community.

Care and treatment is delivered following 'Best-practice guidelines' ensuring high standards of care in a social and friendly setting that promotes empathy, peer support and informed choice.

The Clacton On Sea Leg Club will initially meet once a week on a Thursday 12:30-4pm.
