💜 Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day #weaad2025 dropping in with a message whilst wearing purple & raising money for Hourglass (Safer Ageing) good morning to my colleagues at Partners in Care💚 💜

This World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, not everyone is celebrating. 1 in 5 older people experience abuse EVERY year. Let’s talk and keep the conversation going. Call our 24/7 Helpline 0808 808 8141 for help. #GrowingTheConversation #WEAAD2025 #WEAAD #Hourglass

Not all abuse leaves visible scars. ‘Hidden Harms’ helps you spot abusive behaviours in family or intimate relationships. Abuse of older people is often not recognised and underreported. ▶️ Watch: youtu.be/fxtj2DcdFjA 📞 Essex Compass: 0330 333 7 444 #ItsNeverTooLate #WEAAD

On World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, organisations across the world raise awareness about the abuse of older people and its impact and help to connect people with support if they need it. You can find helpful resources on our website: olderpeople.wales/abuse-support/ #WEAAD
