Falls Prevention Session
Concerned about falling?
Falling is not an inevitable part of getting older. However, your risk of falling can increase as you get older.
Falling, and the fear of falling, can make people lose confidence in going about their everyday lives. If you are concerned for yourself or the person you care for and would like to know how to reduce the risk of falling please join us on

Relaxation Sessions
Every Thursday from 12th November – 3rd December from 10:45am – 11:45am. Relaxing can sound like an indulgence when you have a lot on your plate but it is key to your physical and mental health. Relaxation is the opposite of stress and a natural antidote to it. When we relax regularly we increase our ability to cope with stress and worry. By taking some time out to de-stress you’re not only helping yourself but the person you care for too because you’ll be a better you to share with them.
In these one hour sessions you will be guided through various visualisations and techniques to calm and de-stress you. You will also be given a five minute take home technique you can easily fit into your busy day.
Please call us on 020 8877 1200 or email info@wandsworthcarers.org.uk to book your place as places are limited. Please note, that you will be required to attend all sessions.
