A survey commissioned by Age UK has found that millions of older people are worried about falling over, with 4.3 million (36%) saying it topped their list of concerns Unfortunately 30% of people aged 65 or over will fall at least once this year and that rises to 50% if you are over 80. Not all falls are preventable but neither are they inevitable, come and join us to find out what you can do to help prevent a fall (or what to do if you do fall!)
