Don’t Fall, Walk Tall! Drop In Event!

Have you, or someone you know, had a fall or a near miss where you’ve tripped or slipped recently? Are you a bit unsteady on your feet or have you noticed you’ve been holding onto furniture to support yourself walking? A fall can impact people’s lives by limiting their mobility, restricting their activities, as well as living independently and that’s not great! Nailsea Town Council are working in collaboration with a number of healthcare teams and volunteers to offer some support. So, come along to our event where there will be experts on hand, who will be able to show you what you can do to reduce the risk of falling in order that you can live life to the full.

Our event will be on the 23rd September 2024, at the Nailsea Baptist Church (79 Silver st, Nailsea, Bristol, BS482DS). It is a FREE drop in event that will run from 11am until 3pm. This event not only aims to provide you with information, we will also be providing discount vouchers, free raffle entries and a goodybag for you to take home!

Not sure if you can get to us? Well, why not consider getting some free transport, by calling 07939957995? For any further information, please contact enquiries@nailseatowncouncil.gov.uk.
