Falls Prevention Awareness Week – Drop-In Event at Holmes Chapel Community Centre

Falls Prevention Awareness Week takes place from 21–24 September, with a local drop-in event being held at Holmes Chapel Community Centre on Thursday 24 September, from 11am–1pm.

Family members, carers, health professionals and anyone supporting someone who may be at risk of falling are also welcome.

Working in partnership with the NHS, Steady On Your Feet and Cheshire East Council, the event will provide practical advice and information to help people stay active, independent and safe in their own homes.

There is no need to book – simply drop in. Refreshments will be available, and attendees will also receive a goody bag to take home.
