Stay Steady and Active has been developed by the Hounslow Borough Based Partnership to help increase activity levels, test balance abilities, and reduce the risks of falls for residents aged 60 plus.
The initiative offers free exercise classes, access to a 12-week strength and balance programme, signposting to a range of activities for the over 60’s, plus a Staying Steady test that residents can do at home to understand if they need additional clinical support.
