Step Up Falls Prevention

Our Step Up Falls Prevention Programme aims to help those aged 50+ maintain their strength and balance.
Falls are the main cause of older people attending accident and emergency departments; for the most part, they don’t cause serious injury but can be really distressing and impact older people’s confidence in their ability to get around.

Age UK Tameside, with the support of Public Health, delivers a free 8-week Step Up Falls Prevention Programme, delivered by qualified staff. People referred to the service will receive a home safety assessment and personal assessment to determine their mobility strengths and needs. All participants will need GP approval to take part in the course which staff will arrange.
