February 2024: Giving back to the community Reducing the Risk of Falling and Safe Falling

Live in Woolpit or nearby? You can now learn Safe Falling at our walk‑in facility—no appointment needed, completely FREE.

Beginning this March, Inori Aikido Club will run Safe Falling awareness and practical sessions on the last Thursday of every month.

Session topics include:

• Why people fall

• Key statistics

• Reducing fall risk

• Practical Safe Falling training

Safe Falling helps you:

• Protect your head

• Prevent or reduce serious injuries (hips, pelvis, arms, shoulders)

• Avoid minor injuries (bruises, sprains, strains)

Our structured programme for adults 55+ moves from prevention and balance work to safe, low‑impact falling techniques.

You’re eligible if you are:

• A fit adult concerned about balance

• Living independently and staying active

• Someone who has fallen at least once

• Ready to overcome fear of falling

• Open to learning something new

IF YOU FALL, FALL SAFELY!
