Who Will Benefit?
Falls destroy confidence, increase isolation, and reduce independence. Around 1 in 10 older people are afraid to leave their home after a fall. If you or someone you love would say yes to any of the following, then keep reading:
- Has a fear of falling
- Has lost confidence
- Uses a stick or walker
- Holds onto furniture when walking around
- Has already fallen more than twice in a year
- Has had surgery/injury due to a previous fall
- Is feeling physically weaker in the past few months
Why Our Program is Essential
Falls & fractures in people aged 65 and over are the most common cause of trauma-related hospital admissions. A simple accident like tripping on a rug or slipping on a wet floor can change your life. If you fall, you could break a bone, which thousands of older adults experience each year. For older people, a broken bone can also be the start of more serious health problems and can lead to long-term disability.
Falls can occur for many reasons including:
- Medical conditions causing dizziness
- Dizziness from medication
- Incorrect or poorly fitted footwear
- Uneven surfaces
- Hazards
- A deterioration of eyesight, coordination, balance, or muscle strength
- A combination of the above
- How can the Falls Prevention Program help?
A bespoke and specific program can help reduce falls by as much as 54%.
Prevention is much more preferable to cure, post-fall!
Improving your strength and balance can reduce your risk of having a fall.
Doing this in a relaxed and fun environment won’t feel like a chore!
How Does It Work?

The 8 week course will run in a progressive way, with weekly 1 hour small group sessions. This will be implemented in a structured way, based on your specific needs, which can include exercises given via an app to complete at home.
