Live Stronger for Longer (LSFL) Amber Valley Falls Prevention Classes are a programme of community-based exercise sessions designed to help older adults improve strength, balance and mobility to reduce the risk of falls. The Amber Valley area hosts a variety of LSFL classes at different venues, led by trained instructors, with session formats including Chair Based Exercises (CBE), CBE/Otago, Otago Exercise Programme, Postural Stability Group (PSG) and Tai Chi. Classes run across multiple towns in Amber Valley such as Alfreton, Belper, Ripley, Heanor, Somercotes, Langley Mill and surrounding areas, with a schedule updated periodically (the latest list was issued 22 April 2026). The document lists individual class details, including location, day, time and cost per session (for example, costs range from around £3 to £10 per session, depending on the class). Participants are advised to contact the instructor or Age UK Derby & Derbyshire office before attending to confirm current availability and any access needs. A range of LSFL resources are also provided for home practice, including a set of short exercise videos. The programme emphasises falls prevention through regular, appropriately challenging activity, with staff and instructors approved by the Falls Activity Advisors. For more information or to arrange attendance, contact details for the local instructors are provided within the Amber Valley PDF, and general guidance can be obtained through the Age UK Derby & Derbyshire office.
