Falls Prevention Awareness Week - 21st September – 25th September 2026
Falls Prevention Awareness Week is a crucial initiative aimed at raising awareness about the risks associated with falls, particularly among older adults.
The Bury 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 Prevention 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 Bury Integrated Care Partnership aims to educate residents about falls risks and prevention strategies. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to enhance the health and well-being of the community.

During Falls Prevention Awareness Week, which runs from 21st September – 25th September 2026, Bury will host various events and activities within our community settings designed to inform and engage the public.
By participating in such events, residents can gain insights into maintaining their independence and enhancing their quality of life. The Bury Integrated care partnerships efforts underscore the importance of community involvement in preventing falls and ensuring a safer environment for all.
