  1. Hourglass Helpline for Older People

    24/7 HELPLINE FOR OLDER PEOPLE AT RISK OF ANY FORM OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT.

    Hourglass is the UK’s only charity solely focused on ending the harm and abuse of older people.

    The national freephone helpline provides support and advice to anyone with concerns or questions about an older person who is at risk of, experiencing or recovering from any form of abuse or neglect.

    The Freephone Helpline number is 0808 808 8141.

    This will enable timely advice and support for older people, their families and practitioners when they need it most.

     

  2. Shout 85258

    Shout is the UK’s first and only free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone who is struggling to cope.

    We launched publicly in May 2019 and we’ve had more than 1.4 million conversations with people who are anxious, stressed, depressed, suicidal or overwhelmed and who need in-the-moment support.

    As a digital service, Shout has become increasingly critical since Covid-19, being one of the few mental health support services able to operate as normal at this time.
