We are Hourglass, the only UK wide charity that’s calling time on the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people. Every year, more than a million older people are physically, emotionally, financially or sexually abused in the UK.

This is a truly damning indictment of how our society views and values older people. Sadly, the abuse of older people is not a new issue, but one that has now reached a critical threshold that can no longer be ignored, nor tolerated. Below is a list of our resources outlining the different types of abuse and how to get in touch.
