A message from Active Gloucestershire!!

Falls are not an inevitable part of ageing.

Many people assume that becoming less steady on their feet is simply part of getting older. But the good news is that there are things we can do to help maintain our strength, balance and confidence as we age.

Building strength and balance can help people stay active, independent and able to continue doing the things they love. That's why we're shining a spotlight on Fall-Proof, a Gloucestershire-wide campaign helping older adults take positive steps towards healthier ageing.

💬 Did you know that strength can be built at any age?
Whether you're an older adult, a family member, carer or someone supporting older people in your community, discover the free resources, practical guidance and local opportunities available through Fall-Proof.

👉 Find out more at fallproof.me

Together, let's challenge perceptions of ageing and help more people across Gloucestershire stay strong, steady and independent.
