New services to tackle abuse and neglect of older people
Hourglass, formerly Action on Elder Abuse, the UK’s only charity focused on the abuse and neglect of older people have recently been commissioned by Mayor’s Office of Policing and Crime (MOPAC) to provide our services in South East London (Bexley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark)
Hourglass is the only charity in the UK specifically dedicated to calling time on the harm, abuse, and exploitation of older people.
- National: They offer a free and confidential 24/7 helpline for those experiencing or concerned about the harm, abuse or exploitation of older people.
- Local: They also offer local services which we have extended into parts of South East London including our dedicated IDVA team who specialise in domestic abuse cases involving victims 60 and over.
