🍂 Falls Prevention Awareness Week | 21-25 September 2026 🍂

Did you know that many falls can be prevented with a few simple steps? Falls can have a significant impact on health, confidence, and independence, especially as we get older.

This Falls Prevention Awareness Week, let's raise awareness about: ✅ Staying active to improve strength and balance
✅ Regular vision and hearing checks
✅ Reviewing medications with healthcare professionals
✅ Keeping homes free from trip hazards
✅ Wearing well-fitting, supportive footwear

Small changes can make a big difference. Let's work together to help everyone stay safe, active, and independent.
