Falls Awareness Week is a crucial initiative aimed at raising awareness about the risks associated with falls, particularly among older adults.

The Integrated Care Partnership is actively promoting this week to highlight the importance of falls prevention and to provide valuable resources and support to the community.

Importance of Falls Awareness Week:

Falls are a significant health concern, especially for individuals aged 50 and above. They can lead to serious injuries, loss of independence, and increased healthcare costs. By promoting Falls Prevention Awareness Week, the Integrated Care Partnership aims to educate residents about fall risks and prevention strategies. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to enhance the health and well-being of the community.

Activities and Support in Bury:

During Falls Prevention Awareness Week, which runs from September 23rd to September 27th, Bury will host various events and activities designed to inform and engage the public. These include:

• Drop-in Sessions: Residents can access free advice and support on falls prevention, including assessments and rehabilitation services tailored to individual needs.

• Exercise Programs: Services across Bury will offer online and in-person exercise sessions aimed at improving strength and balance, which are vital for falls prevention.

• Educational Workshops: Bury will provide learning opportunities that focus on practical strategies to reduce fall risks at home and in the community.

By participating in these events, residents can gain insights into maintaining their independence and enhancing their quality of life. The Integrated Care Partnership's efforts underscore the importance of community involvement in preventing falls and ensuring a safer environment for all.
