23-27 September 2024 is Falls Prevention Awareness Week.
This year’s theme is ‘From Awareness to Action’, to underline the fact that falls are not a normal part of ageing. Most falls can be prevented, and older adults have the power to reduce their risk of falling. Maintaining physical activity and boosting fitness levels are a key part of reducing the risk of falls.
Active Cumbria have a webpage dedicated to the campaign to support those working with older adults to engage in meaningful conversations around being physically active which is a key preventative factor in relation to falls risk and recovery.
