There are many misconceptions about falls in later life; however, falls are not an inevitable part of ageing and can be prevented. The Healthy Ageing Research Group was funded by the Centre for Ageing Better to raise the bar on strength and balance through focusing on community provision.

A national project, the team mapped what works and identified models of delivery, enablers and innovative solutions to support sustained, affordable and accessible community-based strength and balance programmes. The team produced an interactive report, short booklet and a range of resources to assist others in setting up and rolling out evidence-based strength and balance interventions.
