At Hackney Stop Falls Network, we support older people to stay independent at home, in the following ways:

Home safety scheme  We can provide and fit small aids, and carry out minor repairs and alterations in and around the home, so you can get around more safely and confidently on your own. If you need larger adaptations, we can liaise with social services to get the ball rolling

Exercise Programmes We run special exercise courses to retrain balance and boost strength. You learn how to keep yourself strong and steady and how to avoid falls. We run classes at local centres, and a special home-based programme for those who cannot get out and about

Connecting you to other support services  We have links to a range of falls prevention services, including osteopathy treatments, physiotherapy assessments, clinical investigations, Telecare personal panic alarms, other community exercise-for-health schemes and so on

Education, information, activity and fun  Our handy ‘Get up, Stand up!’ booklet has practical advice and helpful phone numbers. We run community get-togethers and open days where you can do health checks, try out exercise,

learn about nutrition, health, and home safety; and swap experiences and tipswith others
