We're working with Hillingdon Council, Age UK and 3ST to empower Hillingdon residents with the knowledge and tools needed to self-manage their fall risks through regular strength training and simple exercises.
By focusing on prevention and working together, we can help create a safer, more confident community where everyone can live independently for longer.
Our resoruces are for all, whether you live in care settings or own homes, ensuring that both carers and residents have access to practical support.
Lets work together to reduce the frequency of falls, which often lead to A&E visits and lengthy hospital stays.

Falls can have long-lasting psychological effects, including a loss of confidence and a reduced ability to live independently.
Local data indicates that falls are particularly prevalent in care homes, extra care settings, and sheltered housing, with higher numbers of ambulance call-outs and hospital admissions.
The importance of strength and balance training is well-supported by evidence, including guidance guidance from NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), showing that personalised exercises can significantly reduce the risk of falls and enhance stability.
