Carers, family members, friends and neighbours often play an important role in helping someone stay safe, active and independent.

If you support someone who has fallen, is worried about falling, or is losing confidence, advice and local support are available for you too.

Looking after someone can sometimes feel lonely. You may have less time for yourself, your friends or the things you enjoy. You do not have to cope on your own.

Support is available to help you understand the risk of falls, arrange help at home, find local activities, and get advice about caring, money, benefits, transport and ways to stay connected with other people.
