Step Ahead Wigan is a new community initiative from PROCare and Age UK Wigan Borough offering free Home Safety Checks to older and disabled residents across Wigan. Launching on World Occupational Therapy Day, the project is all about helping people spot risks earlier, get practical advice and understand what home adaptations could help them stay safe and independent. From grab rails and bathroom changes to guidance on next steps, the message is simple: don’t wait for a fall.
