21st to 25th September 2026 marks Falls Prevention Awareness Week.
Falls are not an inevitable part of getting older, and there are many practical steps people can take to stay active, independent and well as they age. Maintaining physical activity, building strength and confidence, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits can all help support wellbeing and reduce the risk of falls.
To help raise awareness of healthy ageing and support older people to live well for longer, we will be running our Live Well Age Well community workshops. These sessions provide practical information and guidance on topics including healthy eating and drinking, understanding frailty, preventing falls, improving breathing capacity, and supporting long-term brain health.
