Any friend or family member concerned about someone who fits into these groups is also welcome to attend.

The drop-ins will be additionally supported by Hourglass. The Hourglass mission is simple: end the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people in the UK. This means that on the first Monday of the month, our weekly drop-ins will be able to support older women facing any type of abuse. The drop-in remains open for women with a long-term health condition or impairment and concerned friends/family members.
