16 September – 20 September 2024

From Age Cymru:
We know that falling over is not an inevitable part of growing older so for this year’s National Falls Awareness week, the Taskforce has launched a new leaflet for older people.

This leaflet helps people to recognise what might increase their risk of falling over and empower them with information to take action.

This year Age Cymru, Care and Repair Cymru and Age Connects are also working alongside another Taskforce member St John’s Ambulance to highlight the impact that falls prevention and intervention work has on Welsh health and social care, and that with the right support thousands of older people can avoid the need for care services due to a fall.
