What is this service?
We operate the only free and confidential helpline for older people across the UK that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are there for information and advice, or even just for a friendly chat. We link callers to local groups and services, offer regular friendship calls, and protect and support older people who are suffering abuse and neglect.
