📢Falls prevention awareness📢

Today the team from Sunderland City Council visited our Midweek Movers exercise session to raise awareness of "steady on your feet," a free digital platform to help older adults stay active, build balance, and reduce the risk of falls 👏👏👏

The platform provides resources, and advice and guidance, alongside a tailored action plan:

It is a fantastic resource. If you need any support in accessing the site we can help 👍💻

The team had a great day at the Unity in the Community event.
The atmosphere was truly special and the Minster was literally packed to the rafters.
Community is in the heart of everything we do and this event was such a joy to be part of.

Our garden gives us treasures all year round.
In August we have an abundance of rosehips and a few roses are still flowering for a future bounty.
Rosehip syrup is such a fantastic thing to make.
Nature's larder is right on our doorstep and we love it 🌹 🌹 🌹 💕
