Steady On Your Feet - Falls Prevention and Healthy Ageing Support

12/03/2025

We're proud to launch our latest falls prevention platform covering the east Surrey area in partnership with First Community Health and Care.

An online tool designed to help adults feel more confident about their balance and mobility has been launched in east Surrey hosted by First Community.

The ‘Steady on Your Feet’ website and interactive self-assessment tool is part of an NHS national campaign to help reduce falls. The east Surrey Ageing Well Steering Group have supported First Community to develop this tool to help prevent falls and support individuals to maintain their independence.

One of the main benefits of this new website is an online assessment which generates an individual action plan to reduce the risk of falls. The assessment can be completed by the individual at risk of a fall or anyone they wish to help them (friend, career etc).

The tool is highly recommended by health professionals to help people maintain their mobility and reduce the risk of falls in their day-to-day activities.
