Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?

We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

We'll aim to dig this up with a good level of soil on the grass and in strips. So if you wanted to pick this up around Easter Sunday or Monday, you could take it and re-lay it at your place and water it for a virtually instant lawn. (Hoping that it will take root and grow.)

Pick up will be from Longhurst in Halswell.
If you are interested in this, let me know and I can let you know when it is ready for collection or you can even come round and help dig it up if you want to!
