We’re Bringing back Our Falls Prevention Classes back! – New East Grinstead Session Starts 7th October!

We’re delighted to announce that AHS Wellbeing has received funding from West Sussex Public Health to deliver more Falls Management Exercise (FaME) classes and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

Whats more, we’re launching a new Falls Prevention class in East Grinstead, starting 7th October, and it’s completely free of charge for participants.

About the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) Programme

The 24-week FaME course is designed to improve strength, balance, and confidence, helping older adults reduce their risk of falling. Each one-hour class is led by a specialist AHS Wellbeing instructor and takes place in a local community venue.

In addition to group sessions, you’ll be given simple exercises to practice at home, helping you build consistency and strength between classes.

Is this suitable for me?
If you’re an older adult experiencing any difficulties with walking, balance, or if you’ve had a fall before, this programme could be perfect for you. Your instructor will carry out a short assessment to make sure it’s right for your needs, and exercises can be adapted based on your individual health or mobility needs.

Interested in Joining?

If you or someone you care for might benefit from this course, we’d love to hear from you. Places are limited, so get in touch as soon as possible to find out more.

We aim to build strength, stability, and confidence and prevent falls before they happen.
