Wearing worn out or slip-on slippers can significantly increase your risk of falling.
Join Cambridgeshire Libraries for a free drop-in slipper swap event this winter. Bring along an old pair of slippers and swap them for a new supportive pair (subject to availability) at no cost.
Enjoy free hot drinks, a friendly chat, and find out about local support and services that can help you stay healthy, active and independent.
This event is for Cambridgeshire residents aged 60 years and over. You do not need to book a place, just come along.
