The Hourglass mission is simple: end the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people in the UK.
As the UK’s only charity focused on the abuse and neglect of older people, we staff a
free-to-call 24/7 helpline. It’s an absolute lifeline for older men, women and their families suffering from the five forms of abuse: physical, psychological, financial, sexual or neglect.
The Hourglass helpline is the only service in the UK dedicated to helping those effected by the abuse of older people. Whether that’s an older person who feels threatened or unsafe at home, or a friend of family member concerned about the wellbeing of a loved one, our helpline services team are there to support and offer advice.
