Hourglass is a UK-based nonprofit focused on preventing abuse, harm, and exploitation of older people and advancing safer ageing. It operates across the four nations of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland and was formerly known as Action on Elder Abuse (AEA). The organization pursues its mission by raising awareness, promoting education, supporting research, and disseminating information, while providing direct support to older victim-survivors and their loved ones through a free 24/7 helpline, instant messaging, and a community response programme. Hourglass offers up-to-date information through a monthly newsletter, hosts webinars and conferences, and develops resources and training for practitioners and the public working with older people. Based in Sudbury, England, it operates as a mid-sized nonprofit across the UK and Northern Ireland; a leadership update in 2019 noted the appointment of Veronica Gray as deputy chief executive.
