HOW'S YOUR FEET?
Due to a huge increase in demand for our podiatry service,  we are now giving our highly-subsidised appointments only to Zacchaeus members who receive one or more of the following Means-Tested Benefits:


  • Council Tax Reduction
  • Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)
  • Housing Benefit
  • Job-Seekers Allowance (JSA)
  • Pension Credit
  • Universal Credit

If you receive one or more of the listed benefits and wish to book a (reduced rate) podiatry appointment, please drop into the Zacchaeus office with your benefit award letter.  For those for whom this does not apply, we are very sorry for the disappointment this will cause. You can still book to consult Joan Williams as she runs clinics elsewhere throughout the borough, and Sam Arthur works locally on Roman Road.  Their contact details are:

 Remember to let us know if your contact details have changed, or if you can give us any additional contact details e.g. your email address or mobile number. We are using email and text to communicate Zacchaeus Project updates to our members as much as we can.  We understand if you do not use these media!  

You will understand that the cost of sending out the Newsletter by post is now prohibitive, so we are delivering by email wherever possible   Please collect your copy of the Newsletter from the Centre if you are able.
