Make your garden safe this summer says Age NI
To make the most of your efforts and avoid any mishaps, Age NI Enterprises urges people to take some simple safety precautions in the garden.
Ron Warwick, General Manager at Age NI Enterprises says: ‘Simple, preventative measures like clearing away tools after use, taking extra care when lifting or keeping pathways clear can improve your garden safety.

‘For extra peace of mind you could keep either a personal alarm or a mobile phone with you. These devices can give you the reassurance that should anything happen while you’re on your own and you need to call for help, support is available at the touch of a button.’
With the Age NI Personal Alarm Service people can get help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It helps older people who live on their own retain their independence, and it also gives family, friends and neighbours peace of mind about their loved ones.
