Join Us For Unique Community Event: The Slip & Trip Show!

The Slip Trip Show 3 1

Date: Sunday, 17th November
Time: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Location: Pinchbeck Village Hall

After several friends in Pinchbeck experienced slips, trips, and falls, some resulting in serious injuries, they decided to take a creative approach to raise awareness. The result? A fun and engaging musical show themed around preventing falls!

The Slip & Trip Show will be performed by the talented John Bland Memorial Choir and the Pinchbeck WI. This entertaining event promises to be both educational and enjoyable for all ages.

Highlights:

  • Free Entrance and Refreshments: Enjoy the show and some light refreshments on us!
  • Support a Great Cause: Donations are welcome and will go towards helping The Meadows Day Centre purchase a new therapy bath for adults who use their services.

This event is proudly funded by The Pinchbeck Community Land Trust and supported by the charity Every-One.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to support your community and learn about fall prevention in a fun and memorable way!

Mark your calendars and bring your friends and family for an afternoon of music, fun, and community spirit! 🎶✨

If you have fallen in the past year or felt increasingly unsteady on your feet you should mention this to your GP or other health professional who may offer you a referral for a falls risk assessment with a trained person.

Some medication can make you feel weak or dizzy.  If you are taking four or more medications, (especially medicines for things like high blood pressure, sleeping tablets, anti-depressants and strong painkillers) ask your GP or pharmacist to review your medication regularly.
