What Is Leg Club?

Leg Clubs follow a nationally recognised model of care developed by the Lindsay Leg Club Foundation. They provide treatment, health promotion, education, and ongoing care for people with leg and foot conditions, such as leg ulcers.

Leg Club is a social club where members who are currently experiencing leg or foot ulcers, or have had an ulcer, can access clinical support to get their leg healed and keep it healed.

During this club, you will have full assessments by trained nurses who have received training and are experienced in wound care and are able to provide evidence-based care and treatment.

There will be volunteers who will be providing social activities and refreshments, where you can engage with other members of the community and have peer support from others who have been in your shoes.

From time to time we have relevant charities and organisations visit to speak to members and provide additional support.  Example organisations are Age UK, the fire brigade home safety team, and our social prescribing team.

What makes a Leg Club different is the social model of care. Instead of visiting a traditional clinic, members receive their treatment in a community setting alongside others. This helps reduce isolation, encourages peer support, and creates a friendly, welcoming environment where people feel supported as well as cared for.
