Sandwell Falls Prevention Exercise – A Falls Free Life

by North Smethwick Development Trust

Falling down can be frightening. A fall can cause injury and create a situation where a person’s confidence is shaken. The Falls Prevention Exercise Programme is a free service aimed at preventing falls in those aged 50+ or have mobility/balance issues. What is it? We offer a 12-week safe exercise programme at one of our community venues across Sandwell. These exercises are designed to improve your mobility, balance and strength. If you are unable to attend one of our community sessions, we can provide a workbook for you to exercise safely at home. The team will also provide Information, Advice and Guidance on ways to prevent falls and maintain your mobility and balance. The service will also refer you to the other community support services available if necessary.
