A scheme to help prevent slips, trips and falls among older people is coming to Darley this month.
One of the most common causes of falls are loose, worn or backless slippers. North Yorkshire Council’s slipper socials aim to tackle the issue by handing out free pairs of rubber-soled slippers through the library service.
The slippers are wide fitting to make it easier for people with restricted mobility to get them on and off. They have a Velcro fastener, so will not slip off.
