We recently ran a small grants programme for groups in Darwen. This has now ended with the panel meeting towards the end of January 2025. Many thanks to all applicants.


The Darwen Falls Programme is being delivered by Age UK BwD for adults who are aged 65 and over with a clinical frailty score of 5/6, and encompasses a range of support and interventions to reduce the risk of falling.

Interventions include outreach and engagement, advice on physical activity to enhance strength and balance, holistic assessment and support and access to a dedicated link worker.
