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.

Competitors could not race in conditions when there was a high risk of boats flipping, Otago branch spokesman Fraser Morrison, of Stirling said.
The 50 kilometre circuit races were to have been held Friday morning on the Clutha River.
The Otago Rivers Jet Boat race which was to be held on Friday afternoon will not start at Balclutha as scheduled.
Instead, it was hoped it would begin at Clydevale, about 20 minutes away at 2pm, where there was more shelter and would race to Roxburgh if conditions allowed.
Circuit and river racing is to continue at Glenorchy on Saturday and Wanaka on Sunday.
