THE Trotters Lounge, a friendly community leg-support club serving people across the Cardigan area, is moving to a new home at Hen Ysgol Y Ferwig next month.
The move marks an exciting new chapter for the community organisation, which has outgrown its current premises at the Cardigan Oxygen Therapy Centre.
The new venue offers more space, dedicated parking and the opportunity for The Trotters Lounge to expand its support for people in the local community.
The Trotters Lounge was established by two qualified NHS nurses as a Community Interest Company, with the aim of helping people look after their legs, remain active and independent, and enjoy the benefits of friendship and community.
The club provides leg health checks, leg and foot hygiene, skincare and moisturising advice, compression garment support, advice and signposting, alongside a range of social and well-being activities.
Members can take part in arts and crafts, gentle seated exercise, wellbeing conversations and enjoy tea and refreshments in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
“It's not just about leg care,” said a spokesperson.
“It's about care, company, activities and support - all in a friendly and relaxed setting.”
The club is open to anyone who could benefit from some additional support with their leg health.

People do not need to have a serious leg problem to join.
The Trotters Lounge can support people experiencing issues such as dry or vulnerable skin, varicose veins, lymphoedema, swollen legs, venous insufficiency or difficulties managing compression garments.
It can also be particularly useful for people living with diabetes or chronic health conditions, or those experiencing mobility or manual dexterity difficulties.
People can also join simply because they want to stay on top of their leg health, remain active and enjoy meeting other people.
To celebrate the move to Ferwig, The Trotters Lounge is holding an Information Day on Monday, September 28 (10am-3.30pm), at Hen Ysgol Y Ferwig.
All are welcome.
The team can be contacted on 01239 872102.
