Who are we?

We are a group of specially trained community volunteers who provide advice and information on how to prevent and reduce falls amongst the elderly. We work alongside health professionals and with the police, local authorities and other local organisations.

Falls Prevention training for care home staff is currently being provided as an online package.

Staff members will receive a training certificate upon successful completion of an online multiple-choice test.

What do we do in the community?

We organise events all over North East Lincolnshire to raise awareness, provide information and give advice to older people living in the local community about the services available.

We provide services to older people who have had falls or are at risk of falling, including falls presentations, ferrule changing, sloppy slipper exchanges and our bus safety alert card.

We try to understand the needs of the person who has fallen and to identify where and why they are falling.

We work in residential homes, group dwellings and within community facilities.

We promote healthier communities.
