Our Mission

To reduce fall-related risks through education, awareness, and empowerment — supporting older adults, their families, and caregivers, and promoting conditions that foster active and healthy ageing.

Why it Matters

Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, affecting mobility, autonomy, mental health, and social participation. Prevention has the power to protect independence, improve daily functioning, and support a dignified and active life.

Our Vision

A Europe where older people live safe, autonomous, and active lives — with dignity and meaningful participation.
