Cold homes can affect mobility and put older people at greater risk of falling. It’s important to be extra careful to avoid falls during winter months.

Do you know what increases the risk of falling? Are you worried for a friend, a family member or an elderly neighbour? Encourage them to use the interactive risk checking tool to help identify their risks. Access the online tool for tips to prevent falls at www.steadyonyourfeet.org/cambridgeshire
