Our vision is to empower people with the knowledge and tools needed to self-manage their fall risks through regular strength training and simple exercises.
By focusing on prevention, we aim to reduce the frequency of falls, which often lead to emergency department visits and lengthy hospital stays.
These resources are available for everyone at risk, whether they live in care settings or their own homes, ensuring that both carers and individuals have access to practical support.
Falls can have long-lasting psychological effects, including a loss of confidence and a reduced ability to live independently.
Local data indicates that falls are particularly prevalent in care homes, extra care settings, and sheltered housing, with higher numbers of ambulance call-outs and hospital admissions.
The importance of strength and balance training is well-supported by evidence, including guidance guidance from NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), showing that personalised exercises can significantly reduce the risk of falls and enhance stability.
