Hourglass
We are Hourglass (formerly Action on Elder Abuse), the only UK wide charity that's calling time on the abuse, exploitation and neglect of older people.
We're campaigning for changes in age related legislation, raising awareness of the extent of this hidden epidemic and supporting victims of abuse with our support services.
Our helpline is available 24/7 (including weekends and bank holidays) and we also offer a range of texting, email and instant messaging services for anyone concerned about the abuse of an older person.
