Local MP welcomes new helpline for charity tackling abuse of older people
James Sunderland welcomes the launch of charity ‘Hourglass’ new 24/7 helpline. The helpline is now available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to help anyone affected by the abuse of older people. Call the helpline on 0808 808 8141 and receive free advice and guidance, whenever you need.
One in six older people are victims of abuse. That’s over 16% of our mothers, fathers, uncles, aunties, grannies, grandads, friends and neighbours.
The Hourglass mission is simple: end the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people in the UK.
