Falling over isn’t part of the aging process

The Team from ACC New Zealand

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.

Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.

The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.

Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.

Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Neighbourly "quick loan" advert policy update

Just wanted to let everyone know of the outcome for my request to Neighbourly to remove the advertisement for a company that was advertising short term loans at 1% per day interest as well as on the order of 20% loan initiation fees.

Nieghbourly has decided to decline advertising from "quick loan" companies, and has removed the advert that I and many other had considered offensive in that the company harms the most vulnerable in the community.

This was a very happy outcome! Thanks for everyone that expressed their opinions on the subject.
Regards,
Joe


>>.Hi Joe - thanks for staying in touch with us. We really appreciate yourself and your neighbours getting in touch regarding your concerns and I would like to let you know that we have made the decision to decline Sponsored + Featured post bookings from 'quick loan' companies for the foreseeable future.


You might like to consider removing or disabling comments on your post 'Pretty Penny Loan Advertisement on Neighbourly' as we have removed their posts from Neighbourly now.



Thank you so much Joe - if you'd like me to give you a call to discuss things further I'd be more than happy to.



Thank you again for your feedback and your passion for your community.



Warm wishes
